　　Sabrina失蹤了。她在哪？
　　一段影片、陰謀、媒體、被留下的人──

　　「你昨天晚上睡了幾個小時？
　　請以1至5分評估你現在的情緒，1是非常糟糕。
　　請以1至5分評估你現在感到的壓力，5是極度嚴重。
　　你正處於憂鬱的狀態或有任何自殺的念頭嗎？
　　生活中有沒有發生任何事，影響到你的執勤？」
　　──這是Teddy被詢問的問題。身為失蹤女性從小的朋友及現任男友。自Sabrina失蹤後，軍方掀起了一連串的瘋狂假說、理論，以及謊言，將身為美國空軍的飛行員的他捲入其中，令他痛苦而近乎崩潰。

　　Sandra，失蹤的Sabrina的姐姐，在悲傷裡勉強度日，如同活在煉獄中。

　　而Sabrina的所在，隱身在一段影片中。這段影片將揭開許多內幕，同時將引發瘋傳。

　　《Sabrina》是一部關於當代懸疑、焦慮、偏執，謬誤訊息流動的故事，呈現一個社會，缺乏人際互動與責任，而被科技載體剝去關係珍貴的親密。讓讀者沮喪不忍，直面在悲劇其後的種種，更飽含對我們當今生活方式的深刻觀察和控訴。（文/博客來編譯）

　　Conspiracy theories, breakdown, murder: Everything’s gonna be all right—until it isn’t

　　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.

　　Review

　　"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

　　"Sabrina is startling. Drnaso’s formal ingenuity and confidence is matched by the acuity and depth of the story’s awareness of who and where we are right now."--Jonathan Lethem

　　"Nick Drnaso is one of the most ambitious, singular cartoonists to emerge in recent years, and his dedication to novelistic fiction is an inspiration. Incisive, chilling, and completely unpredictable, Sabrina demonstrates the inexplicable power of comics at their best."-- --Adrian Tomine

　　“Drnaso’s diagnosis of the sickness at the soul of sheltered communities is novel in its discordant effects and keen observation.” —The Globe and Mail

　　“Uncomfortable, fascinating . . . Full of moments in which the bubbling reservoir of anxiety or feeling or darkness boils to the surface.” —Slate
