In this bleak yet compelling graphic novel–style glimpse at the Dirty Thirties, Brown crisply paces the narrative with fascinating glimpses of the sociological and geological causes of the Dust Bowl. Brown relies, aptly, almost entirely on shades of brown throughout his dramatic pictures. Primary source material is used liberally, as characters speak directly to the reader, documentary-style. Bib.
