{"product_id":"invisible-wounds-graphic-journalism-9781683961901","title":"Invisible Wounds: Graphic Journalism","description":"Cartoonist Jess Ruliffson spent five years traveling across the country interviewing veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars, from kitchen tables in Georgia and libraries in New York City to dive bars in Mississippi and back porches in Vermont. What she finds is that the real experience of soldiers at war is a far cry from depictions in popular media like \u003cem\u003eZero Dark Thirty\u003c\/em\u003e or \u003cem\u003eAmerican Sniper\u003c\/em\u003e. In these illustrated interviews, Ruliffson shares the stories of men, women, and non-binary ex-soldiers who struggle to reconcile their wartime experiences with their postwar lives. Identity lies at the heart of these stories, as they grapple with their gender, their race, and the brutality they've witnessed and caused. In this compassionate, probing book, Ruliffson reveals how America's endless entanglement in wars have affected the psyches of the people who wage them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eRuliffson, Jess:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eJess Ruliffson\u003c\/strong\u003e teaches comics, gouache, and drawing at The Sequential Artists Workshop in Gainesville, FL, and The School of Visual Arts in NYC.
