review:
'The Sound of the World By Heart' by Giacomo Bevilacqua is a graphic novel about an artist's experiment in silence and what that may cost him.

Sam is a photojournalist who has suffered a big loss. He decides to give himself an assignment of living in New York for 60 days without talking to another person. He does this by making sure he always wears headphones and doesn't eat at the same restaraunt too often. His ordered life becomes disordered when he develops his rolls of film and discovers all the pictures feature the same woman. He has been avoiding human contact, but the city has ways of turning Sam's world upside down.

I liked the art quite a bit. I understand why the entire book is narrated, but it's not my favorite way to read a graphic novel. I wasn't sure about the story at the beginning, but by the end, I realized that I liked where the story went.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Magnetic Press, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
