review 1: Wow, this guy is good! Shorter and less complex than the first one I read by him but just as powerful. The drawings are beautiful and move the character's story forward well. This depicts a moment in history from a very particular lens but the theme of innovation leaving behind an older way of life is, of course, timeless. I understand there is another must-read by the author so I will definitely be on the lookout for it.
review 2: Market Day is a very moving, sad, and subtle graphic novel for older readers. Set in a European Jewish community of the last century, Market Day shares one day in Mendelman's unraveling life. A rug maker of distinction and a father-in-waiting, Mendleman goes to the Market town to sell his rugs, only to find his supply chain is ... moreupended and nothing is as it was. This book makes me wish I had an "Economics" tag. . . it's contemplative and sad. less
