How to Understand Israel in 60 Days or Less

release date: Apr 22, 2021
How to Understand Israel in 60 Days or Less
Sarah Glidden is a progressive Jewish American twentysomething who is both vocal about and critical of Israeli politics in the Holy Land. When a debate with her mother prods her to sign up for a Birthright Israel tour, Glidden expects to find objective facts to support her strong opinions. During her two weeks in Israel, Glidden takes advantage of the opportunity to ask the people she meets about the fraught and complex issue of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but their answers only lead her to question her own take on the conflict. Simple linework and gorgeous watercolors spotlight Israel''s countryside, urban landscapes, and religious landmarks. With straightforward sincerity, lovingly observed anecdotes, and a generous dose of self-deprecating humor, How to Understand Israel in 60 Days or Less is accessible while retaining Glidden''s distinctive perspective. Over the course of this touching memoir, Glidden comes to terms with the idea that there are no easy answers to the world''s problems, and that is okay. This debut book landed on several best-of-the-year lists, including Entertainment Weekly''s; earned a YALSA Great Graphic Novels for Teens distinction; and won an Ignatz Award. Her second book, Rolling Blackouts, which documents her experience shadowing journalists in Turkey, Iraq, Lebanon, and Syria, will also come out this fall from Drawn & Quarterly.

Rolling Blackouts

Rolling Blackouts
A cartoonist follows reporters across the middle east, learning about journalism and how stories are told Cartoonist Sarah Glidden follows up her acclaimed debut, How to Understand Israel in 60 Days or Less, with Rolling Blackouts, which details her two-month long journey through Turkey, Iraq, and Syria. Glidden accompanies her two friends--reporters and founders of the journalistic non-profit The Seattle Globalist--as they research stories on the Iraq War''s effect on the Middle East and, specifically, the war''s refugees. Joining them is a former Marine and childhood friend of one of the journalists whose deployment to Iraq in 2007 adds an unexpected and sometimes unwelcome viewpoint, both to the people they come across and perhaps even themselves. The crew works their way through the region with the goal of asking civilians, refugees, and officials: "who are you?" Everyone has a story to tell: the Iranian blogger, the United Nations Refugee administrator, a taxi driver, the Iraqi refugee deported from the US, the Iraqis seeking refuge in Syria, and even the American Marine. The journalists struggle equally with how to tell these stories and with how to market them into articles people will want to read. Glidden records all that she encounters with a sympathetic and searching eye--What is journalism? What is its purpose? What is honesty? Painted in her trademark soft muted watercolors and written with a self-effacing humor, Rolling Blackouts cements Glidden''s place as one of comics''s most original nonfiction voices.

Oscuridades programadas

release date: Sep 25, 2020
Oscuridades programadas
Una novela gráfica concienzuda, sincera y nada complaciente sobre lo que es y debería ser el periodismo. ¿QUÉ ES EL PERIODISMO? ¿CÓMO SE PROPAGAN LAS HISTORIAS? ¿CUÁNDO SE CONFUNDEN LA MEMORIA Y LA VERDAD? La dibujante estadounidense Sarah Glidden acompaña a dos amigos reporteros -fundadores de una organización de periodismo sin ánimo de lucro- en un viaje por Turquía, Siria e Iraq con el fin de descubrir historias que ilustren el efecto causado por la guerra de Iraq en Oriente Próximo en general, y en los refugiados en particular. Al trío se une un amigo de la infancia y exmarine, cuyo servicio en Iraq aporta un punto de vista inesperado y a menudo desconcertante, tanto para las personas que van conociendo en el camino como para ellos mismos. A lo largo del periplo, Glidden observa que los reporteros repiten la misma pregunta: «¿Quién eres?» Y todos sus interlocutores tienen una historia interesante que contar: el bloguero iraní, un representante de las Naciones Unidas, un taxista, un iraquí expulsado de Estados Unidos, los iraquíes que buscan amparo en Siria e incluso el marine estadounidense. Ganadoradel premio Ignatz al Mejor Nuevo Talento por Una judía americana perdida en Israel, Sarah Glidden registra todo lo que se va encontrando con una mirada minuciosa y receptiva. Este libro, ilustrado con las acuarelas tenues características de Glidden y escrito con honestidad y candor, afianzará a su autora como una de las voces de no ficción más originales del momento.
