Synopsis
A collection of short slice-of-life stories quietly but strongly etching various facets of our lives, without the cynicism. The House of Java is a coffee house where little flashes on all sorts of people that happen in for a cup. Reminiscent of the insightful work of Adrian Tomine.

Review
"Realism isn't common in-graphic novels. What happens in a Murphy story could be seen pretty much as he draws it. We and those we know could live a Murphy story. As recognizable as realistic prose fiction, and so are "their predicaments-ordinary matters of the heart, home, and appetites. And if Murphy's black-and-white artwork and bang-on dialogue were any more mannered than they are, his stuff would be boring. But they aren't, and it isn't."
Synopsis
A Heartwarming Collection Of Tales Of Ordinary Everyday Life; From issues 1 to 4 of the award-winning strip, House Of Java Vol:2 is a collection of stories celebrating the everyman, some melancholic, some hopeful, some humorous, all keenly and quietly observed. Highlights include Steven exploring the blurry line between friendship and love between two comics fans; Tide Pools, where a visiting student encounters a girl with an itch to move on and out of her small town life but no gumption to go through with it; the particularly remarkable May 27th which brings a student social worker face to face with delinquency brought on by lower class despair, and The Burial with its aura of mystery, in which a terrible secret is literally unearthed turning it into an earth-shattering revelation.
