Sabrina

Nick Drnaso’s damning depiction of a modern world devoid of personal interaction was the first graphic novel in Booker Prize history to be nominated. Video games, conspiracy theories, breakdown, murder: Everything’s gonna be all right — until it isn’t...Where is Sabrina? The answer is hidden on a videotape, a tape that is on its way to several news outlets, and about to go viral. Sabrina is the story of what happens when an intimate, ‘everyday’ tragedy collides with the appetites of the 24-hour news cycle; when somebody’s lived trauma becomes another person’s gossip; when it becomes fodder for social media, fake news, conspiracy theorists, maniacs and the terminally bored, everywhere."Drnaso is an ace boundary technician... With his fluid framing — fitting anywhere from two to 24 panels to a page — he dictates information delivery, allowing the mind to breathe. His drawing style is at once poetically attuned to details of neighbourhoods and interiors and deceptively plain when it comes to the people who inhabit them. Figures are airtight yet textureless, with eyes like pinholes ... Drnaso subtly suggests that the current climate of constant horror, weaponized by hashtags and spread by autofill, has its seeds in the fall of the Twin Towers and our response to the tragedy. It’s a shattering work of art." - Ed Park, The New York TImesNick Drnaso was born in 1989 in Palos Hills, Illinois. His debut graphic novel, Beverly, received the LA Times Book prize for Best Graphic Novel. He has contributed to several comics anthologies and has been nominated for three Ignatz Awards. Drnaso lives in Chicago, where he works as a cartoonist and illustrator. **Video games, conspiracy theories, breakdown, murder: Everything’s gonna be all right—until it isn’t...**__How many hours of sleep did you get last night?
