Chris W. Kim's graphic novel Strays is 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.Die Inhaltsangabe kann sich auf eine andere Ausgabe dieses Titels beziehen.

“All I want is a proper body…” Born as biologically female, Nathan spends his formative years facing questions without answers, social ostracism from his peers, and incomprehension from his family – because from as early as he can remember, he knows he has been born in the wrong body. But, as his family comes to recognize, a physical identity is harder to change than a piece of clothing or a haircut. So from the moment he is at last supplied with a professional term for his self-diagnosis – “gender dysphoria” – he is able to leave behind his complicated psychological history, the challenges of his self-harming, and his struggles with sexual identity, and begin the difficult process of claiming his true self.
Based on a true story, at first hand, Call Me Nathan issues a moving call for understanding, a powerful denunciation of prejudice, and a celebration of everything it means to love.

Perfect for readers of Adrian Tomine and Chris Ware, Strays is an evocative story about the fragile ties that bind people together in an increasingly isolated world.Chris W. Kim's Strays is an enigmatic and visually stunning graphic novel set within the rhythms and routines of modern urban life.A young man flees a disaster at home and comes to live in the city with his sister. Looking for stability, he takes a job as a deliveryman, spending his days navigating apartment buildings, crowded streets, and fleeting encounters that reveal both the closeness and distance of city life.As he travels his route, he repeatedly encounters old friends and former acquaintances. What begins as a welcome source of connection gradually becomes more complicated as he discovers that many of them are struggling in their own ways. Their requests for help force him to confront difficult questions about responsibility, compassion, and the limits of what one person can do for others.At once a character-driven drama and a subtle social parable, Strays explores the realities of precarious work, social isolation, community, and belonging. Through a series of interconnected encounters, Chris W. Kim examines how people drift through one another's lives, searching for purpose and connection while carrying burdens that often remain unseen.Rendered in Kim's richly detailed and distinctive graphic style, Strays captures both the beauty and unease of contemporary city life. Quietly profound and emotionally resonant, this literary graphic novel offers a moving reflection on friendship, empathy, and the challenge of maintaining human connection in an increasingly fragmented world.
