Graphic Novel Book Club

Tuesday, Mar. 3 | 6:00 - 7:00 p.m. | 2nd Floor Board Room or Virtual Footnotes in Gaza and War on Gaza by Joe Sacco Please note that we are reading two titles this month! About Footnotes in Gaza: "Presents an original investigation into the 1956 massacre of more than one hundred Palestinian refugees by Israeli soldiers in Rafah." About War on Gaza: "Joe Sacco is well known as an unflinching chronicler of the injustice inflicted on the Palestinian people (Palestine, 1993; Footnotes in Gaza, 2010). He continues this mission with War on Gaza, a series of graphic commentaries on Israel's rampage that began more than a year ago and continues relentlessly today. Published in instalments on The Comics Journal's website, War on Gaza is a series of comics and single-panel illustrations that lay bare the naked immorality of the 'war' itself and its dire and tragic consequences. Employing his trademark combination of honesty, compassion, and dark humor, Sacco's War on Gaza is an uncompromising critique of Israel's genocide and the complicity of President Joe Biden and the United States." Copies of the book are available for check out from the 2nd floor reference desk of the Corvallis-Benton County Public Library - just ask at the desk!
