The Fixer: A Story from Sarajevo by Joe Sacco
3.0
I decided to read this because I'm impatient for Joe Sacco's new book, [b:Footnotes in Gaza|6796708|Footnotes in Gaza A Graphic Novel|Joe Sacco|http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51P-ANwcWiL._SL75_.jpg|7002029]. I wasn't expecting this to be amazing, but it was. I'm coming to the conclusion that pretty much anything Sacco writes and draws is amazing.
I'm old enough to remember the siege of Sarajevo, barely. Actually, I was living in Europe at the time and sort of obsessed with the conflict (hey, I was an intense, political kid...I'm sure that doesn't surprise anyone). Here and in [b:Safe Area Gorazde|82861|Safe Area Gorazde The War in Eastern Bosnia 1992-1995|Joe Sacco|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171030481s/82861.jpg|80004], Sacco really complicates what I remember reading about and caring about back then--which is a good thing.
Also, I'm starting to become a little alarmed by how fast I read.
