"Nick Drnaso's Sabrina is the best book--in any medium--I have read
about our current moment. It is a masterpiece, beautifully written
and drawn, possessing all the political power of polemic and yet
simultaneously all the delicacy of truly great art. It scared me. I
loved it."--Zadie Smith
"Sabrina is startling. Drnaso's formal ingenuity and confidence is
matched by the acuity and depth of the story's awareness of who and
where we are right now."--Jonathan Lethem "Nick Drnaso is one of
the most ambitious, singular cartoonists to emerge in recent years,
and his dedication to novelistic fiction is an inspiration.
Incisive, chilling, and completely unpredictable, Sabrina
demonstrates the inexplicable power of comics at their
best."--Adrian Tomine "[Sabrina] is a Midwestern gothic tale for
our times... A shattering work of art."--The New York Times 100
Notable Books of the Year "Sabrina is not only a step forward for
comic strip literary fiction, but a book that shows, as well as
tells, the slippery horrors of our post-truth reality."--The
Guardian Best Books of 2018
"It's a chilling distillation of the way the world feels
nowadays."--NPR's Best Books of 2018
"Drnaso's simple, rigid drawings capture the bleak blankness of
much contemporary life, anomie hovering over almost every
interaction, both real and virtual... [Sabrina] leaves the audience
holding its breath."--Kathleen Rooney, The Chicago Tribune
