The interview, hardcover/jaime richards

This graphic novel is set in Italy in 2048.

Raniero is a fifty-something psychologist whose marriage is failing.

In the sky, strange bright triangles appear, bearing mysterious messages from an extraterrestrial civilization.

Dora, his young patient, is part of the New Convention, a movement of young people preaching free love and alternative models to coupling and family.

She declares that her telepathic abilities can parse the signal -- a warning of some kind.

Initially skeptical, Ranieros curiosity and attraction grows.

The Interview is a science fiction novel that eschews the stars in favor of the delicate, fragile, interior world of human emotion.
