Abstract

"When Sabrina disappears, an airman in the U.S. Air Force is drawn into a web of suppositions, wild theories, and outright lies. Sabrina depicts a modern world devoid of personal interaction and responsibility, where relationships are stripped of intimacy through glowing computer screens. An indictment of our modern state, Drnaso contemplates the dangers of a fake news climate."--

Abstract

From the acclaimed author of Sabrina, Nick Drnaso's Acting Class creates a tapestry of disconnect, distrust, and manipulation. Ten strangers are brought together under the tutelage of John Smith, a mysterious and morally questionable leader. The group of social misfits and restless searchers have one thing in common: they are out of step with their surroundings and desperate for change.A husband and wife, four years into their marriage and simmering in boredom. A single mother, her young son showing disturbing signs of mental instability. A peculiar woman with few if any friends and only her menial job keeping her grounded. A figure model, comfortable in his body and ready for a creative challenge. A worried grandmother and her adult granddaughter; a hulking laborer and gym nut; a physical therapist; an ex-con.With thrumming unease, the class sinks deeper into their lessons as the process demands increasing devotion. When the line between real life and imagination begins to blur, the group's deepest fears and desires are laid bare. Exploring the tension between who we are and how we present, Drnaso cracks open his characters' masks and takes us through an unsettling American journey.

Abstract

Qui a dit que les gens ordinaires n'avaient pas d'histoire ? Certainement pas cet auteur de l'Illinois né en 1989 qui, dans ce recueil à la facture graphique plus que séduisante (et glaçante), explore la psyché de la classe moyenne américaine en exposant la banalité de son quotidien. Banalité apparente d'un sitcom - comme son titre semble l'indiquer - mais qui laisse se dévoiler la richesse et la complexité des sentiments. Dans ce premier roman graphique, l'auteur décline son propos en six histoires imbriquées les unes dans les autres et dont le fil conducteur est marqué par la présence de plusieurs personnages récurrents. Histoires très imprégnées par un malaise profond, générateur de fantasmes insidieux parfois marqués par un sadisme primaire - qui pourrait faire penser au film "Storytelling" de Todd Solondz - probablement dû à ce vide existentiel inhérent à cette Amérique des banlieues lisses et sans histoires, consumériste et désenchantée, voire désœuvrée.
