I just finished this great little graphic novel from Rutu Modan and I felt like sharing my enthusiasm. The story is very fresh and captivating complemented by simple, precise and elegant drawings (or is it the reverse?). I believe it was the first international issue for this Israeli cartoonist. The story revolves around the main character, a taxi driver, in 'search' of his estranged father who may have been a victim of a suicide bombing... It is published by the ever consistent and quality Canadian editor Drawn and Quaterly. From the same house I also recommend the amazing works from Kevin Huizenga featuring his Bill Ganges creation and David B. who also happens to be one of the founders of the equally excellent French publisher L'Association (who first published Marjane Satrapi).
