I wish we have such graphic novels to get a slice of life view of the countries around us, rather than reams (or MBs) of writing. Wish someone does the same for Dubai too. (

La dimensione più lunga, unita forse al fatto che stavolta Delisle non è il diretto protagonista (qui è al seguito della moglie) rende il racconto più debole e dispersivo (es: i bozzetti di una/due pagine) dei precedenti. In ogni caso, di certo sopra il livello medio. (

I expected it to get pretty racist but it didn't. As usual it's a bird's eye view of things — a BBC 'I traveled to strange lands' article but in comic form. (
