Riassunto

When Miko moves temporarily to live and study in New York she leaves behind behind Ben, a confused, obsessive, 30-year-old theatre manager who finds himself desperately trying to answer the big questions. But aided only by his promiscuous friend Alice, and spending increasing time with his new employee Autumn, things only seem to get more confusing. Does he know what he wants? Is he everything Miko accuses him of? Should he follow her to New York?

A painful, charming and stunningly illustrated look at the realities of modern relationships, Shortcomings is one of the most brilliantly subtle, witty and moving graphic novels around.

Descrizione del libro:

'Tomine has both talent and a writer's eye for the truth.' Nick Hornby

L'autore:

Since self publishing his first issue of Optic Nerve at the age of fifteen, the Japanese-American Adrian Tomine has established himself as one of the leading lights of the next generation of graphic novelists, in the wake of such breakthrough artists as Daniel Clowes (Ghost World, Ice Haven) and Chris Ware (Jimmy Corrigan: The Smartest Kid on Earth). A regular contributor to the New Yorker - and previously Time, Esquire and Rolling Stone - he is the author of the collections Sleepwalk, Summer Blonde, and his ongoing series Optic Nerve. His new graphic novel will be published in Canada and the US by D&Q in September 2007.

Tomine is currently published in Canada and the US, France, Germany, Spain, Italy and Japan.
