![]() ![]() I have loved Will McPhail for the longest time, and have been following him on Instagram for years. ![]() ‘In.’ is the debut graphic novel by award-winning ‘New Yorker’ cartoonist Will McPhail. McPhail transforms the graphic novel with a heart-wrenching compassion uncannily appropriate for our isolated times. Illustrated in both colour and black-and-white in McPhail's instantly recognisable style, In is poignant, fresh and hilarious. But it isn't until Nick learns to stop performing and speak about the things that really matter that the complex and colourful worlds of the people he meets are finally revealed to him. He staggers through meaningless conversations and haunts lookalike, vacuous coffee shops in the hope that he will find it there. Whether it's the barista down the street, his own family or Wren, an oncologist whose life becomes painfully tangled with his, Nick can't shake the feeling that there is some hidden realm of human interaction beyond his reach. ![]() Nick, a young illustrator, can't connect with people. ![]()
