The latest from Adrian Tomine (Optic Nerve, Summer Blonde), one of the most gifted artists/writers working, is a bittersweet (well, mostly bitter), short illustrated novel about relationships. With his usual acute sense of character, Tomine gives us a protagonist who is self-absorbed & cynical, yet still sympathetic. He breaks up with his Japanese girlfriend, pursues other women (who are white), and flies across the country to spy on his ex-girlfriend. Tomine's drawings are subtle and incisive, his dialogue well-observed (think an indie film that doesn't suck), and he tackles thorny issues like race, sex, gender, sexuality, jealousy, and, um, penis size. The hardcover edition features a handy ruler on the cover.
