Norman

Norman is the illustrated story of a man who insists he's fine, even as his mirror cracks, his checklist fractures, and his memory begins to leak. Told in ten surreal chapters, the book blends poetic monologue, short fiction, and haunting imagery. It is the first entry in the Fractured Faces series, which features portraits of characters emotionally unraveled by a world that offers no clear answers. This is not a tale of survival. It is a quiet spiral into oddness, grief, and strange acceptance. With hand-drawn illustrations, dark humor, and a touch of tenderness, Norman invites readers to linger at the edge of the page. Some may even recognize themselves in the twitch of an eye or the bruise that hums. This is a short, unsettling work of visual literature for readers who appreciate outsider art, poetic fiction, and strange minds.
