Nick Drnaso's "Sabrina" (2018) was the first graphic novel longlisted for the Booker Prize. The book follows the aftermath of a woman's murder—not the crime but its viral spread through cable news and online conspiracies. Drnaso's flat, affectless drawing style matches his subject: how violence becomes content, how grief becomes performance. His earlier book "Beverly" established his method.
