“This book is a firestarter” – Guantánamo Kid by Jérôme Tubiana & Alexandre Franc

"As a graphic novel, the payload hits the reader differently – but it most certainly lands. And indeed, is more honest. Were this true story spun into prose by a professional writer, it would obfuscate its vital essence; add a layer of indirection between reader and the sequence of facts. Mohamedou Ould Slahi wrote his Guantanamo Diary himself, but in the absence of a first-hand account, letting the facts stand alone, sans ‘decoration’, is the right call..." - Tamim Sadikali reviews Guantánamo Kid by Jérôme Tubiana & Alexandre Franc
