27 Down, 25 To Go ("Exit Wounds") (52 Books, 52 Weeks)
With her graphic novel Exit Wounds, Rutu Modan has eloquently and subtly presented a commentary on the Arab-Israeli situation. The seemingly simple story of a young man's search for his father (with help from a female soldier) takes surprising turns. Modan's watercolors are as much of the storyline as the dialog, this is a beautifully drawn book by one of Israel's most lauded cartoonists.
