Capire Israele In 60 Giorni (e Anche Meno) (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
I wasn't quite sure how to rate this book. I certainly liked is, as evidenced by the fact that I flew through it. I picked this book out because I don't have particularly warm feelings towards Israel, and I was curious to see exactly how the author described her experience. I thought she did a good job of getting multiple viewpoints, though the book absolutely would have been enhanced if she had gone to the West Bank and spoken to Palestinians. I wouldn't say this book blew my mind by any means but it was worth a read. Learned about Isreal in a way that is more pleasant than wiki or the economist. There are info dumps, but put in the context of a skeptic ruminating on what she is being sold by her tour guides. I find that this perspective, coupled with the pictures, make it easier for me to retain the information. As a comic, the artist has an eye for lay out, pacing, framing, what have you. She will often blend the character's vision into the "real" world to great effect. If for no other reason, the trick implies that the comic is "real". c'est une pipe. As a travelouge, I feel a familiarity with the birthright tour. As if your eloquent friend was able to explain it over coffee in detail without boring you.
What do You think about Capire Israele In 60 Giorni (e Anche Meno) (2010)?
Comic über eine "Birthright"-Reise nach Israel. Schön gezeichnet, inhaltlich seeeehr amerikanisch.

Interesting take on coming to terms with Israel's politics when one is a leftwing, secular Jew.
