Logicomix: An Epic Search for Truth by Apostolos DoxiadisMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Hooter: Graphic novel following the history of the quest of pure unadulterated logic through the eyes of Bertrand Russell.
A very nicely done light take on a heavy academic topic as we navigate the various schools of thought on logic and its flirtations with mathematics and all the power players around it specifically through a fictionalized representation of Bertrand Russel's thought process. The book captures history, philosophy and biography and tackling the struggle of the thin line between genius and madness ( similar to the Netflix show Queen's Gambit)
Another variation is the narrative style as the authors and illustrators grapple with how to present the story and intersperse the main story track with their discussions and "logic" of going down a path.
