How to Understand Israel in 60 Days or Less #[nn]

Sarah Glidden's watercolor cover sets the scene beautifully: a young woman with a backpack stands in the foreground looking thoughtful, while a bustling hillside neighborhood of white stone buildings rises behind her and a handful of other figures mill about in the middle ground. Published by Drawn & Quarterly in 2016, this graphic memoir promises an honest, personal exploration of a complex place — rendered entirely in Glidden's own delicate, observational linework and color. It's the kind of book that invites you to slow down and really look, both at the landscape and at the questions it raises.
