review 1: Outstanding work by Sacco and essential reading for anyone who has appreciated his full length books such as Safe Area Gorazde and Palestine. These shorter pieces are wide ranging in time and place but the most impressive ones are the longer ones, on African refugees in Malta, on the war in Chechnya and on poverty in rural India. The piece on refugees will have particular resonance for Australians given that our treatment of asylum seekers is considerably worse than the treatment that Sacco implicitly condemns in Malta. It would be interesting to see Sacco's take on Manus Island and Nauru, especially as he grew up in Australia.
review 2: Harvey Pekar taught me that comic books can be great literature. Joe Sacco taught me that a cartoonist with insight and passi... moreon can be one of the most important journalists of our time. Start anywhere in Sacco's canon and you will be drawn to read everything he has produced.Journalism is a stunning education about human suffering in parts of the world we know little about and even those places we thought we understood well. Do yourself a favor and become a devotee of Sacco's work. And help spread the word about the stories he brings to life...the stories most journalists are unable or unwilling to report. less
