ON 20 BEST OF 2018 LISTS INCLUDING THE WASHINGTON POST NPR NEWSWEEK AND THE GUARDIAN! "
Sabrina is the intimate story of one man's suffering but it also captures the political
nihilism of the social-media era-a time when a President can dismiss the murder of a journalist
by saying of the perpetrator "Maybe he did. Maybe he didn't."" -DT Max The New Yorker
Conspiracy theories breakdown murder: Everything's gonna be all right-until it isn't 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 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.
