Myself With Others

Joe Sacco


Listen Later

Joe Sacco is a Portland-based cartoonist and graphic novelist who has reported from Bosnia, Palestine, India, and Iraq. His powerful chronicles of modern-day political atrocities – in such books as Safe Area Gorazde, Footnotes in Gaza, and Paying the Land – have earned him comparison with Goya. In our conversation, Joe spoke to me about his childhood as the son of immigrants from Malta, about how he became politicized at the end of the Cold War, about his travels in the Middle East and the former Yugoslavia, about how he sees his art of witness -- and why he rejects the idea that he is “giving voice to the voiceless.”
