The Unknown Deserter

Publisher
Working Press
Author
Clifford Harper

This small, A6 booklet by Working Press begins with a story about young Aby Harris, swept up in the fervour of patriotism in 1914, who is then severely injured on the front line at the start of the First World War. The 8 illustrations depict scenes of systematic abuse and a lack of regard for life from hierarchical structures. Line drawings, high in contrast and detail, encourage the reader to pause and think about the narrative as it unfolds before them.
