Mis(h)adra
by Iasmin Omar Ata
Isaac is an Arab-American college student with epilepsy. He feels unable to tell people about his condition and becomes more and more isolated; doctors fail to recognize the severity of his symptoms, and he struggles to keep his prescriptions filled. This is a beautiful, but strange and scattered book- moments I wanted to see more of were cut short, while seizure sequences take up page after page. Perhaps this is the perfect depiction of the condition, but I was left wanting a somewhat heftier plot. Still, I recommend it to readers interested in the subject matter. The art is emotional and deeply personal.
