As Barroux was walking through Paris, he found a diary in a heap of trash. It was the diary of a soldier serving during  World War I. Barroux retrieved the diary and illustrated the soldier’s story. Much of the account is about boredom, waiting, digging, death and noise. Occasionally the soldier remembers something about home and family. But mostly he wonders where they will find shelter, where the war is, when he will get mail; it is a very realistic if depressing look at the Great War. Barroux’s illustrations are as stark as the diary entries. No one knows who wrote the diary or what happened to him. Those interested in WWI, history, or graphic novels should find this interesting.
