内容简介
· · · · · ·
How many hours of sleep did you get last night? Rate your overall mood from 1 to 5, 1 being poor. Rate your stress level from 1 to 5, 5 being severe. Are you experiencing depression or thoughts of suicide? Is there anything in your personal life that is affecting your duty?
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 shown 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.

评论 ······
去年The Man Booker Prize入圍，題材很好。後911時代民眾對於惡性案件的恐懼，偏執與妄想。被殺害的Sabrina，大眾陰謀論的不斷傳播，網路與電台不負責任的無端臆測和圍追堵截對逝者親人朋友造成的各種傷害，故事本身算不上多深刻，不過此類作品在當下的存在是必要的，現在是，以後也是。
扣一星給畫面，雖說作者風格確實如此，不過人物表情的缺失對整體感情塑造的影響真的很大⋯同樣是類似的風格，…
An astonishingly cinematic, bleak, layered story. Stoic drawing style, muted colors, impeccably composed interiors, pacing&pauses masterful. Somehow manages to weave personal grief, conspiracy theoris…
假新闻，阴谋论和网络暴力充斥的每日世界，只能用maybe we are just living in a simulation来开解自己。
很棒，不愧是第一本进入布克奖长名单的图像小说。拟像Simulacra的另一个极端结果，是对媒体和政府疑神疑鬼的大众和无处释放的愤怒与恐惧，Albert Douglas这个阴谋理论的热衷推广人很可能是PTSD战后神经患者，通过收音机散播Apocalypse即将到来的末日预言，9.11、校园屠杀、Sabrina被害被臆想成政府阴谋（受害者其实没死，都在一个与世隔绝的atoll上幸福地生活），本应被同情…
