  1. Book 18: “Palestine” by #JoeSacco.

    Felt I needed to read this with everything going on. Also took a workshop on #ComicsJournalism, which apparently Sacco pioneered? One of the conventions is that the author inserts themself into both the narrative and the drawings—there’s no pretense of objectivity or an attempt at invisibility. I didn’t like Sacco’s unvarnished sexism and Western bias. But even 40 years from publication, this taught me a lot.
