The miracle child of a world-famous Brazilian writer, Bras de Oliva Domingos spends his days penning other people's obituaries and his nights dreaming of becoming a successful author himself--all while wondering when his real life will begin. But if authentic existence actually has a beginning, would he even recognize it? Does it start at 21 when he meets the girl of his dreams? Or at 11, when he has his first kiss? Is it later in his life, when his first son is born? Or earlier, when he might have found his voice as a writer? Each day in Bras's life is like a page from a book--one that reveals the people and things that have made him who he is. And like all great stories, each day has a twist he'll never see coming... Crafted by the Eisner Award-winning fraternal team of Fabio Moon and Gabriel Ba, the New York Times bestselling graphic novel Absolute Daytripper weaves a hauntingly lyrical tale of life, death, and everything in between.
