"We see the potent brew of Sacco's reporting, with its combination
of engagement and complicity... This is what visual storytelling
has to offer, this kind of immediacy, of empathy, this ability to
open up the narrative in a way that transcends words." --Los
Angeles Times"Deeply humane, disturbing portraits of war,
oppression, and sectarian tension... Sacco's work is a reminder of
the hidebound nature of much international reporting, and of the
potential for creative disruption in the field. If there were any
justice in American media, a hundred Saccos would bloom."
--Bookforum"The images Sacco draws are so powerful that they burn
deep into your retina and reconfigure how you see the world.... The
stories in Journalism display Sacco at the top of his game as our
era's irreplaceable moral witness." --National Post (Toronto) "This
volume of Sacco's shorter pieces makes an outstanding companion to
his acclaimed book-length works... A powerful record of voices that
would have otherwise gone largely unheard." --Publishers Weekly
