Description

A poignant and witty graphic novel by a leading New Yorker cartoonist, following a millennials journey from performing his life to truly connecting with people

Nick, a young illustrator, cant shake the feeling that there is some hidden realm of human interaction beyond his reach. He haunts lookalike fussy, silly, coffee shops, listens to old Joni Mitchell albums too loudly, and stares at his navel in the hope that he will find it in there. But it isnt until he learns to speak from the heart that he begins to find authentic human connections and is let into the worlds of the people he meets. Nicks journey occurs alongside the beginnings of a relationship with Wren, a wry, spirited oncologist at a nearby hospital, whose work and life becomes painfully tangled with Nicks.

Illustrated in both color and black-and-white in McPhails instantly recognizable style, In elevates the graphic novel genre; it captures his trademark humor and compassion with a semi-autobiographical tale that is equal parts hilarious and heart-wrenchinguncannily appropriate for our isolated times.
