The Quiet Place Book Club: ‘Sabrina’ by Nick Drnaso

Thursday 25 August 2022, 8.00PM

Join us for the August meeting at The Quiet Place Book Club, where we will discuss Nick Drnaso's graphic novel Sabrina (Granta Books, 2018).
 
The follow-up to Nick Drnaso's Beverly, winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, Sabrina is a work of bleak brilliance that captures 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. 

"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

You can purchase a copy of Sabrina from Fox Lane Books.

Please register in advance for this meeting.

Everyone is welcome!
