by Adrian TomineI've never read any of Tomine's work before, but I've always been aware of his buzz. When I saw this for a very low price, I figured it would be worth picking up.
At first, I wasn't sure of this book. Some of the earlier stories feel decidedly unfinished, but as I progressed through them, I found that they became increasingly charming and enjoyable.
Most of these stories are simple slice-of-life tales, but they reveal a thoughtful, careful eye.
Now I guess I need to get Shortcomings, and some issues of Optic Nerve.....
