Excellent look at the Rojava revolution from Janet Biehl, biographer and partner of Murray Bookchin. I can't recommend this enough. It is of course a graphic book, and non-fiction, so no surprises there.
A really good overview. As I understand it, Janet B. had ongoing contacts with the movement and visited N.E. Syria a bunch of times.
