We are stardust, Tom. Nikos Gazidis is suffering from a strange psychiatric condition: he seems to have unwittingly crashed into the consciousness of his boss. Committed to an institution for the rich and unstable, Nikos is afflicted by the disturbing memories and violent emotions of a man who suffered from an abusive father and a neglectful mother. That man, Tom, feels nothing. But when Nikos s sister begins preventing Tom from sharing his memories with his colleague, things begin to change. Adapted from the acclaimed short story by one of the UK s most gifted writers, Stardust Nation is a funny and philosophical graphic novel about memory, empathy and how we are all connected.
