Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands by Kate Beaton

5.0

A beautiful and hefty graphic novel, as well as a subtle and haunting look at loneliness and survival. Set across two years in the oil sands of Alberta, there's also a running theme of the destructiveness of Big Oil (and capitalism, more generally), and being caught in the cogs of a machine you can't get out of. Honestly, for me, it's up there with Maus and Persepolis.
