Sabrina (Spanish Edition)
by Nick Drnaso
Una escalofriante novela gráfica sobre los estragos de una sociedad hiperconectada.
Primera novela gráfica nominada al Premio Man Booker
Sabrina Gallo, una mujer de 27 años, desaparece un día al regresar del trabajo. A partir de ese momento comienza la historia de quienes se quedan: su hermana, su novio y un viejo amigo de éste.
Cuando la filtración de un vídeo sobre Sabrina se hace viral, este trágico suceso se convierte en una gran conversación a nivel nacional que dará pie a teorías de la conspiración, noticias falsas y especulaciones sobre el dolor y la pérdida.
Nick Drnaso firma una novela gráfica sobre una sociedad hiperconectada en donde los medios de comunicación y las redes sociales, lejos de acercarnos, nos convierten en actores y marionetas.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
THE FIRST EVER GRAPHIC NOVEL NOMINATED FOR THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE! A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK! ON 20 BEST OF 2018 LISTS INCLUDING THE WASHINGTON POST, NPR, NEWSWEEK, AND THE GUARDIAN!
“Sabrina is the intimate story of one man’s suffering, but it also captures the political nihilism of the social-media era―a time when a President can dismiss the murder of a journalist by saying of the perpetrator, “Maybe he did. Maybe he didn’t.”" - ―DT Max, The New Yorker
Conspiracy theories, breakdown, murder: Everything’s gonna be all right―until it isn’t.
When Sabrina disappears, an airman in the U.S. Air Force is drawn into a web of suppositions, wild theories, and outright lies. He reports to work every night in a bare, sterile fortress that serves as no protection from a situation that threatens the sanity of Teddy, his childhood friend and the boyfriend of the missing woman. Sabrina’s grieving sister, Sandra, struggles to fill her days as she waits in purgatory. After a videotape surfaces, we see devastation through a cinematic lens, as true tragedy is distorted when fringe thinkers and conspiracy theorists begin to interpret events to fit their own narratives.
The follow-up to Nick Drnaso’s Beverly, winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, Sabrina depicts a modern world devoid of personal interaction and responsibility, where relationships are stripped of intimacy through glowing computer screens. Presenting an indictment of our modern state, Drnaso contemplates the dangers of a fake-news climate. Timely and articulate, Sabrina leaves you gutted, searching for meaning in the aftermath of disaster.
