4.0

This may be the first of the graphic novel travelogue genre. It's a collection of short stories and sketches by [a:Peter Kuper|5128|Peter Kuper|http://www.goodreads.com/images/nophoto/nophoto-U-50x66.jpg]. In some ways I wish there was a bit more of a narrative line to tie all the stories together, but I always find it fascinating to travel through the eyes of other people (especially people who describe the experience with more than words). Kuper's collage technique works really well when integrating travel ephemera, photographs and souvenirs with his artwork. Great stories of visiting gorillas, getting cheated, and Bangkok sex clubs. Made me want more.
