Living & Dying in America: A Daily Chronicle 2020-2022 by Steve Brodner
3.0
The first half of this book was so moving & powerful with its illustrations of people lost to Covid. Around halfway through the drawings begin to be dominated by reflections on the political bad actors of the trump universe & other examples of social injustice in the US. While I am sympathetic to these themes & to the larger issues of the interconnections between various forms of injustice, I had picked up this book for its focus on Covid & memorializing some of those who have died. 400+ people are still dying every day, but no one talks about that & even this book that started out with a focus on the enormity of this loss couldn’t maintain that focus.
