Home/World: A Circumnavigation of Our Shared Earth -- Ben Hatke, Paperback
A "traveler's masterpiece." --Booklist, starred review
Eisner award-winning author Ben Hatke recounts his epic circumnavigation of the globe in Home/World, a profound graphic memoir perfect for fans of Bill Bryson. One spring morning, Ben Hatke walked out his door and headed east, carrying a sketchbook and the audacious trust that if he journeyed long enough, the curve of the earth would bring him home again. What he met was a world more perilous and more generous than he ever imagined. In Home/World, the Eisner Award-winning creator chronicles this circumnavigation through ink-and-watercolor pages that capture not just the sweep of continents but flickers of human encounters: a shared meal in a village, a moment of terror at a border crossing, the language of laughter breaking through babel. Hatke's storytelling transforms the travel narrative into something urgent and immediate--a reckoning with our fractured yet resilient planet. In an age when the world feels boundless and claustrophobic, Home/World offers not an escape, but a return. A return to wonder, to hope, to the possibility that strangers may prove kinder than we think, and to the belief that art may yet hold humanity together.Author: Ben Hatke
