Celestia

"Manuele Fior’s graphic novel is an eccentric take on climate fiction, the genre that imagines life after global warming. Celestia is remarkably beautiful considering its post-apocalyptic setting. Its pages are dominated by soothing sky blues and warm tans, but that’s because it takes place in a Europe that’s been reduced to deserts and brackish seas. The quest-style story introduces the poet Pierrot and the spacey and curvaceous telepath Dora to all the different types of people the apocalypse has produced; Fior plays with the reader’s sympathies in a tale that’s alternately fascinating and alienating."
