While thoroughly practical, it's also the most philosophical and thorough and at the same time efficient guide to the craft. It's the best book I've found for doing this, and it's in a comics format, with McCloud as the cartoony and erudite "narrator". Review from before: I've used this book many times to teach comics basics. Maybe this is less true for non-comics fiction, though. That's like suggesting that minimalism (something like Raymond Carver's stories, or Ernest Hemingway's stories) invite readers in more because we as readers have more space to "be" the characters, to connect with them. McCloud says that realistic depictions of characters such as in superhero comics are actually less relatable than simple characters such as Charlie Brown or Nancy, or most manga. What I have to add is that I had a fun conversation with my class about one insightful claim McCloud makes, that the simpler and more "cartoony" a comic representation is (i.e., a smiley face), the more universal it will be, the more we will say "that's me." In fiction classes I was taught to be as specific and detailed as I could be about characters and places. It's the primary source though there are many good books coming out. I'll read this and use it to help people understand comics every year. I finished reading it for my comics/YA Graphic novels class this summer, 6/16/16 and now again, 8/8/17.

Bell published several books documenting her travels and there are also several volumes of her letters, although they are hard to find in print. Two biographies have been written about Bell, and both are worth reading: Georgina Howell’s 2006 book Queen of the Desert and Janet Wallach’s 1996 effort Desert Queen. Drawing on more than 1,000 pieces of archival footage, 1,700 documents and 1,600 letters, the filmmakers painstakingly pieced together a compelling narrative that managed to convey both the depth of Bell’s experience and her tortured love life. Ī project that did do justice to Bell arrived the next year: Sabine Krayenbuhl and Zeva Oelbaum’s Letters from Baghdad: The Extraordinary Life and Times of Gertrude Bell. Critics panned the film, in which Herzog largely glossed over Bell’s political work in favour of her ill-fated romances. While there were high hopes he would do a worthy job of directing the biopic, when Queen of the Desert arrived in 2015 it was a disappointment. At one point, two feature films were in the works, but only German director Werner Herzog’s project starring Nicole Kidman would be made.
