Description

An extraordinary, hallucinatory ride of a graphic novel about existing in an uncertain world; a visual tour de force by Greek artist Dimitris Anastasiou.

A=-A is a beautiful, dark and surreal story, about a man called Alpha whose world is quite literally turned upside down for a day. As he wanders the streets of his hometown, reality flips on its axis, sending him and the reader on a wild and extraordinary journey.

This wholly immersive, escapist, psychedelic mystery centres around two profound philosophical questions: in a strange and unreliable world, can we be certain of anything? And if we stop craving certainty – and entertain doubt – what new possibilities become available to us?

Gloriously odd, deeply moving . . . In short- a trip. - Niall Griffiths, winner of the Wales Book of the Year 2020
