When Tâm's spy movie-obsessed schoolmate, Alex, discovers an abandoned backpack with a photo of a happy couple with Tâm's address on the back, it will lead the two to discover a severed finger. Worried, Tâm searches for the desperate woman, aided by her reluctant brother, and eventually finds Hoa Bin, who escaped from her kidnapper — who's still tracking her down. Drawn to Hoa Bin, Tâm vows to save her — even if she has to break her stern-but-loving mom's rules, dodge the bad guys in wild chases through the Berlin streets, and combine the forces of Marina, the Nguy?ns' tough-chick neighbor, Jutta, an elderly retired actress, a rollerblading girl gang, and many others to do so.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Ross's empathetic, loose-but-controlled lines, cartoonishly expressive kids interact against and within the realistically depicted urban environments, given texture and grit by screen-tones. Nirvana is Here is a contemporary crime thriller that has adventure, diasporic, coming-of-age, and love story elements, set in Berlin's working-class Lichtenberg district against a backdrop of very current social issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor\/Artist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mikael Ross\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTranslator:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nika Beauchamp\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fantagraphics Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePage Count:\u003c\/strong\u003e 352pp\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.75 x 9.5\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes:\u003c\/strong\u003e paperback, b\/w\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 20, 2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 979-8875002649\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fantagraphics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49030716719360,"sku":"9798875002649","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0053\/3902\/files\/nirvishere.jpg?v=1784481685","url":"https:\/\/atomicbooks.com\/products\/nirvana-is-here","provider":"Atomic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
