Shortcomings by Adrian Tomine
When Miko moves temporarily to live and study in New York she leaves 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 book, "Shortcomings" is one of the most brilliantly subtle, witty and moving graphic novels around.
Adrian Tomine is the cartoonist of the acclaimed series Optic Nerve, collected into Summer Blonde and Sleepwalk by Drawn & Quarterly, and publishing in the UK by Faber in 2008. His work has recently appeared in McSweeney's and he also works as an illustrator for the New Yorker.
