Welcome to Litsy!

A brilliant and suspenseful follow-up to the Booker nominated graphic novel Sabrina "Every single person has something unique to them which is impossible to recreate, without exception."�John Smith, acting coach 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 share one thing in common: they are out of step with their surroundings and desperate for a 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 stable. 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.
