In the course of my last minute Christmas shopping on Amazon.com, I stumbled upon this awesome graphic novel: Regards from Serbia: A Cartoonist's Diary of a Crisis in Serbia, by Aleksandar Zograf. I love graphic novels so I had to pick it up. Here's what the back of the jacket says:
"As the NATO bombs fell on his hometown of Pancevo in 1999, Serbian cartoonist Aleksandar Zograf used his diary comics and e-mails to reach out to the world and offer a glimpse at the effects of the attacks. Over the weeks and months of the war, Zograf documented not only how the bombings shattered the lives of his friends and neighbors, but also how the routine of daily life remained unchanged. The most recent attacks on Pancevo's oil refinery are contrasted with the latest local soccer matches -- and American propaganda flyers are as likely to fall from the sky as American comics are to arrive in the mail."
I'm really looking forward to reading it in the next few days. I'm sure it will be extremely controversial (as most things Serbian seem to be), but it'll be the first non-historical book on the NATO bombings that I'll have read.
