Black & White: The Rise and Fall of Bobby Fischer by Julian Voloj - ★★★

I did a quick read of black and white the story of Bobby Fisher this morning, and I think it's a really good book. It did a nice job of explaining how the chess pieces move, which I think was targeted at a younger audience. And it really did a nice job showing how Bobby Fisher went from being obsessed with chess to being obsessed with conspiracy theories, the books makes a major tone shift when Fisher seems to drift off the deep end and fall prey to the madness inside his brain. A couple of interesting comic enhancements and inclusion of the guy from Pulp Fiction, a couple other textural jokes included, which made the reading that much better. And again, as a graphic novel, it's just so easy to read, so accessible. An excellent explanation of Bobby Fischer's history, as well as dealing with the unfortunate end of Bobby Fischer when he goes off the rails and pretty much loses his mind, a great quick read. I enjoyed black and white.
