How to Understand Israel in 60 Days or Less by Sarah Glidden

4.0

Really excellent tale of a young American Jew's experience on a Taglit trip (and beyond), the questions which the trip answered, and the other questions which it raised. I found my own doubts -- and subsequent reasons for bailing on my spot on the trip and forfeiting the deposit - addressed by someone who seems to share my own worldview. It was a fascinating, step-by-step look at what the trip is like, the people that she met, and the many issues that the plain old existence of Israel has, as well as different ways of looking at Israel as an American Jew.

Glissen's simple style is very nice, and I love the way she draws facial expressions -- they are very evocative while keeping an excellent sparseness of line.
