HOW TO UNDERSTAND ISRAEL IN 60 DAYS OR LESS HCWritten by SARAH GLIDDENArt and cover by SARAH GLIDDEN
“The most spectacular breakout from the minicomics scene in recent memory belongs to Sarah Glidden.” – Publishers Weekly
“Elegant… a whimsical but cutting memoir, replete with sharp-eyed observations about Holy-Land quirks.” – The Jewish Daily Forward
“Thought-provoking, entertaining, and even, on occasion, funny.” – Heeb Magazine
A stunningly accomplished debut graphic novel, HOW TO UNDERSTAND ISRAEL IN 60 DAYS OR LESS is Sarah Glidden’s charming and funny travel memoir of her trip through Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, the Golan Heights, Masada and other historic locales, brought to life with lush watercolors in all of their quirky and breathtaking detail. At the same time, ISRAEL is a sensitive, deeply thoughtful and personal examination of a highly charged issue, an account of a journey Sarah never expected to take. Her experience clashes with her preconceived notions again and again, particularly when she tries to take a non-chaperoned excursion into the West Bank. As she struggles to “understand Israel,” Sarah is forced to question first her beliefs, then ultimately her own identity. Sarah Glidden won the prestigious Ignatz Award for “Most Promising New Talent” as well as the Masie Kukoc Award for Comics Inspiration. Her work has appeared in numerous anthologies.On sale NOVEMBER 3 • 6.75” x 10.25”, 208 pg, FC, $24.99 US MATURE READERS
