Guantánamo Kid: The True Story of Mohammed El-Gharani #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis graphic novel recounts the real-life ordeal of Mohammed El-Gharani, a teenager from Chad who was captured and held at the Guantánamo Bay detention camp. Written by Jérôme Tubiana and illustrated by Alexandre Franc, it documents his arrest, interrogation, and years of imprisonment without trial, based on extensive interviews and legal records. The book serves as a stark, humanizing account of one detainee's experience within the broader context of post-9/11 U.S. detention policies.
"Guantánamo Kid" is a powerful, firsthand account of teenage activist Mohammed El-Gharani’s arrest in Pakistan and his years-long detention at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, told with stark honesty and emotional depth. Written by Edward Gauvin and illustrated with poignant precision by Alexandre Franc—whose expressive artwork brings the story to life on every page—this graphic memoir stands as a vital, unflinching record of one young man’s ordeal. The striking cover, also by Franc, captures the weight of the story in a single, evocative image.
