Interesting, well drawn autobiography of the Jewish Canadian artist who spent time serving in the IDF. Talks about her time at art college, and Beta Israel. Not much mention of religion, mostly politics and identity. ( ) A North American Jewish woman shares thoughts on her love/hate relationship with Israel, from its sexy and scary soldiers to its racist attitudes toward the Beta Israel or Ethiopian Jews. The 2006 Lebanon War is backdrop to her vacation trips to the country. There is also a graphic essay about the influence of Philip Roth and other Jewish men (as well Catholics Justin Green and Robert Crumb, just because) on the evolution of the autobiographical graphic novel. The first part of the book is mediocre, but flows along quickly enough. But everything completely bogs down in the long, dense and tedious ten-part tirade about racism. It needs to be said, but dozens of super-long quotes from dozens of floating heads is perhaps a failure in utilizing the graphic format. It's over 40 pages long, and it felt like the last 17 pages alone took an hour to read. I was receptive to her message until I shut down from pure boredom. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
In her first collection of graphic essays, Miriam Libicki investigates what it means globally and culturally to be Jewish, dating from her time in the Israeli military to her tenure as an art professor. Toward a Hot Jew is a new high watermark in autobiographical comics and shows Miriam Libicki as a powerful witness to history in the tradition of Martjane Satrapi and Joe Sacco.
