Sabrina by Nick Drnaso
An airman in the U.S. Air Force is sucked into a web of rumours, crazy speculations, and downright lies after Sabrina vanishes. Every night, he goes to work in a cold, empty fortress that offers little defence against the crisis that threatens Teddy, his childhood buddy and the boyfriend of the missing woman. Sandra, Sabrina’s bereaved sister, strives to pass the time while she waits in purgatory. After a videotape is discovered, we witness destruction through a cinematic prism as real tragedy is warped as conspiracy theories and fringe thinkers start to tailor the events to fit their own narratives.

The sequel to Nick Drnaso’s Beverly, which won the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, Sabrina paints a picture of a contemporary society devoid of responsibility and interpersonal engagement, where intimacy is lost in relationships due to glowing computer screens. Drnaso examines the hazards of a climate of fake news while presenting a condemnation of our contemporary state. Sabrina’s timely and well-spoken commentary will leave you saddened and looking for a purpose in the wake of tragedy.
Both Sabrina’s tale and her fashion are really shocking. It is a fantastically cost-effective example of contemporary comic literature and was warmly welcomed by the fiction community. For instance, it received praise from authors like Zadie Smith in addition to being acknowledged by prize committees. It’s a really bleak tale concerning the kidnapping and murder of a young woman, as well as its aftermath and her boyfriend’s attempts to deal with her passing.
