Items related to Shortcomings
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.

Review:
'One of the most masterful cartoonists of his generation.
Shortcomings is equal parts poignant, hilarious and sad.'
-- The Village Voice
'Reading a comic book suddenly becomes as rewarding as reading
good contemporary fiction. Tomine has both talent and a writer's eye for
the truth.' -- Nick Hornby
'Shortcomings is as deceptively simple and perfect as a comic book
gets.' -- Jonathan Lethem
