"Nick, a young illustrator, can’t connect with people. 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.
He staggers through meaningless conversations and haunts lookalike,
vacuous coffee shops in the hope that he will find it there. 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.
Illustrated in both colour and black-and-white in McPhail’s instantly recognisable style, In is poignant, fresh and hilarious. McPhail transforms the graphic novel with a heart-wrenching compassion uncannily appropriate for our isolated times." (hodder.co.uk)
