The thing that draws me to Modan's stories is the rich culture. Both the culture of where the story takes place and the personal culture that the characters have. May be fictional stories, but they are told and illustrated in such an organic way as to feel true stories.
Exit Wounds tells two stories in parallel. It's one of the things I love about this story. There is the wounds of the nation, the family, and the individuals.it reminds me that a nation is like a beach. While it is a thing in itself, it is made up of millions of individuals. While one grain is easily missed and can seem insignificant, the beach cannot exist without grains as a whole. This is with our families, as well. The wounds are a part of who we become as individuals. They and don't always make sense, but ultimately they lead us to the most beautiful parts of our lives we them.

יש לספר הזה איזה ניחוח אבסורדי-פנטסטי-ישראלי שאפשר למצוא רק ברומנים הגרפיים של רותו מודן
אבל משהו בספר הזה פשוט לא ברמה של שני הרומנים הבאים
יכול להיות שהנושא פחות נגע לליבי
אולי כי הסיפור היה פשוט היחיד שלה שלא יכולתי להזדהות איתו בנימה מסוימת
ואולי כי הסיום פשוט היה פתוח ולא מספק

Disappointing, I'm hoping her second one הנכס is better.

I enjoyed the original storyline, and while the drawing style wasn't my favourite I felt it was definitely portraying people in a realistic manner. However, I'm not very familiar with Tel-Aviv, so I found it hard to connect with the setting that the characters lived in.
