The first visual literary work shortlisted for the British Man Booker Prize

 
"How did a disappearance case turn into a witch hunt in the post-Trump era?"

TV news, radio stations, social networks...
Conspiracy theories and mass violence inspired by a disappearance depict the alienation and depression of contemporary society in unprecedented visual literature.
Sabina's unexpected disappearance and the subsequent video circulating on the Internet caused Sabina's sister Sandra, her boyfriend Teddy and Teddy's high school classmate Kevin to be involved in an unpredictable nightmare one after another...

What awaits the three people is not only the shock of Sabina's sudden death. As the case becomes an unsolved case, the three people have become the focus of public opinion overnight. Speculations and conspiracy theories about the murder also took advantage of the situation, making three people with different life circumstances become sacrifices in this public trial.

The author of "White Teeth", Sadie Smith, hailed it as a "masterpiece", and the best-selling British crime novelist MacDermid said that the narrative technique of this work is comparable to that of excellent novels. Set against the background of contemporary American society where school shootings were frequent after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the emerging graphic novelist Nick DeNaso used his cold and distant painting style and a narrative like a movie lens to depict the human nature of everyone. There is something to say, but the truth is no longer there in the Internet age.
