"The Blissful Isles" // Graphic novel // as part of the 5-volume and 1000-pages debut-novel "At the edge of the world man sits and laughs", written by Philipp Weiss, published by Suhrkamp, 2018 It is a mysterious pain that causes the world around Abra, a young Japanese woman, to come apart at the seams: the "pain in the machine", namely in her mechanical prosthetic arm. She sets off on a vertiginous journey through Tokyo which gradually strays from the coordinates of reality; a descent into hell through cultural archives, simulations, and strange loops of the self. The Blissful Isles is about the idling search for a foothold and the loss of the other in a mediatised world.
