Strays

An enigmatic parable of the modern city, where strangers can become friends and vice versa A young man flees a disaster at home and comes to live in the city with his sister. He makes ends meet by taking a job as a deliveryman--only to encounter a flood of old friends and past acquaintances on his daily route . . . At first elated by the company of these waifs and strays, eventually, their own desperation for work begins to trouble his conscience--but what happens when you can't deliver help to everyone? Chris W. Kim's distinctively detailed graphic style embodies an elusively disquieting parable of modern isolation and the ties that bind--or fail to bind--society together.
