A short graphic novel, the first installment of a trilogy. One cannot fully judge the merits of this volume when the other two come out. In many places, it is an elliptical, dreamlike tease. If the future volumes do more to tie all of this together, then this might be the beginning of a brilliant graphic novel. If not, then I would be somewhat disappointed.

The story is told in multiple drug/dream-like episodes of a young man taking pills, experimenting with performance art, having a relationship with a good relationship with a photographer and a bad relationship with his father, and flashbacks or dreams about the past or future
