'A political and aesthetic work of extraordinary originality, quite unlike any other in the long, often turgid and hopelessly twisted debates that have occupied Palestinians, Israelis, and their respective supporters... With the exception of one or two novelists and poets, no one has ever rendered this terrible state of affairs better than Joe Sacco.' Edward Said

(Whitaker)

Joe Sacco was born in Malta and lives in Queens, New York. He graduated from the University of Oregon with a degree in journalism.

In 2001 he received a Guggenheim Fellowship to work on his next project.
