Flying Kites: A Story of the 2013 California Prison Hunger Strike by The Stanford Graphic Novel Project

challenging informative tense fast-paced

4.5

An incredibly well portrayed story of an incarcerated man in long-term solitary confinement who takes part in the 2013 prison hunger strike. It was packed with historical information and details from both inside and outside the prison, and artwork that was starkly emotive. I left with far more knowledge about prison reform in general, not just for solitary confinement. It was a very accessible read though the final pages that go through the history and creation of the book are text heavy in a font that is a bit hard to read in large paragraphs.
