This graphic novel is ideal for readers who appreciate literary fiction in graphic form, fans of emotionally rich character studies, and those interested in contemporary life’s anxieties and hopes depicted through artful narrative.

With this work, Adrian Tomine (Shortcomings, New York Drawings) reaffirms his place not only as one of the most significant creators of contemporary comics, but as one of the great voices of modern American literature.

Description

In his first full-length work since Shortcomings in 2007, Adrian Tomine has produced another unforgettable collection of stories and characters:

Amber Sweet shows the disastrous impact of mistaken identity in a hyper-connected world; A Brief History of the Art Form Known as Hortisculpture details the invention and destruction of a vital new art form in short comic strips; Translated, from the Japanese is a lush, full-colour display of storytelling through still images; Intruders depicts a man obsessively trying to find his way back to a former life.

From the master of the small gesture, Killing and Dying is a fraught, realist masterpiece about the weight of love and its absence, the pride and disappointment of family, and the anxiety and hopefulness of being alive in the twenty-first century.
