The Hunting Accident: A True Story of Crime and Poetry by David L. Carlson
4.0
In order to prevent his son from going down the same dark path he did, a blind poet must tell his son about his secret life as a mobster. A fantastic true story about a Chicago mobster who was blinded during a heist and later shared a prison cell with famous murderer Nathan Leopold.
This book is a graphic novel, but it’s so smart and literary. There are explorations into philosophical discussions of Nietzsche, Dante’s Inferno, and Plato’s Cave Analogy, but it struck a perfect balance of explaining things to the ignorant reader while not talking down to the readers who already knew the concepts. It was very thought provoking and educational in a fun way.
The art was very detailed black and white ink drawings, and each panel was so well designed. The production was incredible. The only thing I didn’t love was the length and pacing. I had to take a few breaks because the story was so dense.
I received a copy of this ebook from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
