Paige Parker We Come Here to Starve

Produktbeskrivelse

In the Midnight Caf?, everyone is starving for something. The animals who find this place have nowhere else to go. They cannot find their place in society, in their relationships, or even before God. This decrepit caf? has become a refuge. A place to hide from a world that has no place for them. The Fly, the caf?'s quiet owner, serves every animal that wanders into his caf?. He listens as they each search for belonging, only to arrive at the same painful realization: survival and true belonging cannot coexist. Come, sit. The Fly has been waiting for you. We Come Here to Starve is a hand-illustrated philosophical graphic novel about the tension between survival and belonging. A beautiful yet haunting allegory about the collapse of sanctuary, the moral compromises survival demands, and the dangerous hunger to be loved without having to change.
