Title :
DifettucciAuthor: Tomine Adrian Publisher: Rizzoli Lizard Ben Tanaka è un trentenne cinico, meschino, presuntuoso e bugiardo. Ipercritico su ogni piccolo aspetto della vita quotidiana, sa essere facilone e superficiale solo davanti a un tema: la questione razziale. Ben è un asiatico-americano, ma si sente perfettamente inserito nella cultura del suo Paese. Del resto, vive a Berkeley, una delle città più progressiste della California, cuore storico del movimento hippie e roccaforte del Partito democratico fin dal 1960. Per lui il razzismo non esiste. O, perlomeno, non è un suo problema. Se non fosse che Ben ha una fissazione che proprio non riesce a nascondere: le ragazze occidentali, meglio se bionde e con gli occhi azzurri, anche se non ha mai avuto il coraggio di avvicinarne una. Quando Miko, la sua fidanzata di origini giapponesi, gli fa notare che i suoi gusti sessuali sono stati colonizzati dai media, lui nega con forza. E così, quello che sembrava l'ennesimo bisticcio da niente, si chiude con un'accusa dalle implicazioni profonde: sopraffatto dal desiderio di omologazione, Ben sta cercando di cancellare le proprie radici. In questa perla del fumetto d'autore contemporaneo, pubblicata in rivista tra il 2004 e il 2007, Adrian Tomine si destreggia tra i toni sferzanti della dark comedy e quelli più riflessivi e rivelatori della narrativa minimalista, offrendoci un'analisi onesta e irresistibile della mascolinità contemporanea, € 17,50

SonnambuloAuthor: Tomine Adrian Publisher: Canicola Adrian Tomine (1974) si è imposto nel panorama del fumetto internazionale con una serie di racconti brevi che sono frammenti lucidi della nostra contemporaneità. Rapporti sentimentali difficili, problemi sul lavoro, violenza, intolleranza. Come nei racconti di Cechov o di Raymond Carver c'è sempre una frattura nel quotidiano, qualcosa di inaspettato e profondo che rende la narrazione memorabile. € 25,00

Title :
La solitudine del fumettista erranteAuthor: Tomine Adrian Publisher: Rizzoli Lizard È strano quando la tua passione d'infanzia si trasforma in un lavoro. Così è andata a Adrian Tomine, che ha realizzato il sogno che si porta dietro dalle scuole elementari: diventare un fumettista importante! Ora però deve fare i conti con gli aspetti più irritanti della sua 'fama'. Perché, per quanto sia un autore molto rispettato dai suoi pari, la maggior parte dei lettori di fumetti si dividono tra manga e supereroi e non hanno idea di chi sia Adrian Tomine. E così, durante uno dei tanti festival in cui è invitato, è facile che un ragazzo dello staff lo scambi per Neil Gaiman o che per sbaglio si ritrovi seduto in uno stand al posto di Alan Moore (con grande dispiacere dei fan in fila per le dediche). In questo divertente diario dei suoi tour promozionali, Tomine ci fa rivivere interviste imbarazzanti, ridicoli incontri con lettori disinteressati o troppo invadenti, impietosi retroscena delle chiacchierate tra colleghi e una misera figuraccia con Frank Miller. E tra una gaffe e l'altra, Tomine cerca a fatica di concentrarsi sulle difficoltà della sua vita privata: l'essere genitore e gli alti e bassi del matrimonio. La solitudine del fumettista errante è un memoir agrodolce, nel quale l'epica dell'ambizione giovanile si schianta contro le noie dell'età adulta e si trasforma in un'irresistibile farsa. € 19,00

Title :
Morire in piediAuthor: Tomine Adrian Publisher: Rizzoli Lizard C'è uno strano imbarazzo nel sapere di non essere notati: ci sentiamo più liberi, ma non amiamo essere ignorati troppo a lungo. È lo condizione che vivono i protagonisti di queste storie: decisi, delusi, teneri, ironici e arresi, figli di un'America minima che si sforza di mantenere il controllo in situazioni che puntualmente sfuggono di mano. Sei racconti di uomini e donne accomunati da una stessa condanna: vivere il riflesso delle scelte di un altro. € 19,00

Title :
New York DrawingsAuthor: Tomine Adrian Publisher: Drawn & Quarterly Pubns ILLUSTRATIONS AND COMICS FROM THE NEW YORKER COVER ARTIST AND AWARD-WINNING CARTOONIST Two strangers, both reading the same novel, share a fleeting glance between passing subway cars. A bookstore owner locks eyes with a neighbor as she receives an Amazon package. Strangers are united by circumstance as they wait on the subway stairs for a summer storm to pass. Adrian Tomine’s illustrations and comics have been appearing for more than a decade in the pages (and on the cover) of The New Yorker. Instantly recognizable for their deceptively simple and evocative style, these images have garnered the attention of The New Yorker’s readership and the approbation of such venerable institutions as the Art Directors Club and American Illustration. New York Drawings is a loving homage to the city that Tomine, a West Coast transplant, has called home for the past seven years. This lavish, beautifully designed volume collects every cover, comic, and illustration that he has produced for The New Yorker to date, along with an assortment of other rare and uncollected illustrations and sketches inspired by the city. Complete with notes and annotations by the author, New York Drawings will also feature a new introductory comic focusing on Tomine’s experiences as a New York illustrator. € 26,80

Title :
Good-ByeAuthor: Tatsumi Yoshihiro, Tomine Adrian (EDT) Publisher: Drawn & Quarterly Pubns Drawn in 1971 and 1972, these stories expand Yoshihiro Tatsumi's prolific artist's vocabulary for characters contextualized by themes of depravity and disorientation in twentieth-century Japan. Some of the tales focus on the devastation the country felt as a result of World War II: in one story a man devotes twenty years to preserving the memory of those killed at Hiroshima, only to discover a horrible misconception at the heart of his tribute. Yet, while American influence does play a role in the disturbing and bizarre stories contained within this volume, as always it is Tatsumi's characters that bear his hallmark, muddling through isolated despair and fleeting pleasure to live out their darkly nuanced lives. € 15,20

Title :
The Push Man and Other StoriesAuthor: Tatsumi Yoshihiro, Tomine Adrian (INT) Publisher: Drawn & Quarterly Pubns Thirty years before the advent of the literary graphic novel movement in the United States, Yoshihiro Tatsumi created a library of comics that draw parallels to modern prose fiction and today's alternative comics. The stories collected in The Push Man are simultaneously haunting, disturbing, and darkly humorous. A lone man travels the country, projecting pornographic films for private individuals while attempting to maintain a normal home life. The lives of two men become intertwined when one hires the other to observe his sexual escapades through a telescope. An auto mechanic's obsession with a female TV personality turns fatal after a chance meeting between the two € 15,20

Title :
Scene da un matrimonio imminenteAuthor: Tomine Adrian Publisher: Rizzoli Lizard Prendete una giovane coppia che sta per sposarsi, aggiungete un pizzico di Rock'n'Roll vecchio stile, essenza di pazzoide fiorista giapponese, estratto di hippy nevrotico, concentrato di madri esaltate, macedonia di improbabili DJ e abbondate in partecipazioni da spedire. Mescolate con buona dose di stress da wedding planning fai da te e voilà! Siete pronti a gustare questo antipasto prenuziale, una storia d'amore dei giorni nostri condita con sottile ironia e un velo di romanticismo... da servire con una generosa spruzzata di pepe. Adrian Tornine si confronta con un nuovo aspetto della quotidianità. € 12,00

Title :
Scenes from an Impending MarriageAuthor: Tomine Adrian Publisher: Drawn & Quarterly Pubns MAKING LIGHT OF NUPTIAL NARCISSM At the behest of his soon-to-be wife, Adrian Tomine set out to create a wedding favor for their guests that would be funnier and more personal than the typical chocolate bars and picture frames. What started out as a simple illustrated card soon grew into a full-fledged comic book: a collection of short strips chronicling the often absurd process of getting married. A loose, cartoony departure from Tomine's previous work, Scenes from an Impending Marriage is a sweet-natured, laugh out-loud skewering of the modern marriage process, including hiring a DJ, location scouting, trips to the salon, suit fittings, dance lessons, registering for gifts, and managing familial demands. The most personal and autobiographical work of Tomine's career, Scenes from an Impending Marriage is a charming, delightful token of love. € 8,90

Black BlizzardAuthor: Tatsumi Yoshihiro, Wegmuller Akemi (TRN), Tomine Adrian (EDT) Publisher: Drawn & Quarterly Pubns THE PREEMMINENT GEKIGA-KA'S FIRST GRAPHIC NOVEL FROM FIFTY YEARS AGO Created in the late 1950s,Black Blizzard is Yoshihiro Tatsumi's remarkable first full-length graphic novel and one of the first published examples of Gekiga. Tatsumi documented how his love for Mickey Spillane and hard-boiled crime novels led him to create this landmark genre of manga in his epic, critically acclaimed 2009 autobiography, A Drifting Life. With Black Blizzard, Tatsumi explores the dark underbelly of his working-class heroes that five decades later has made him one of the best-known Japanese cartoonists in North America. Susumu Yamaji, a twenty-four-year-old pianist, is arrested formurder and ends up handcuffed to a career criminal on the train that will take them to prison. An avalanche derails the train and the criminal takes the opportunity to escape, dragging a reluctant Susumu with him into the blizzard raging outside. They flee into the mountains to an abandoned ranger station, where they take shelter from the storm. As they sit around the fire they built, Susumu relates how love drove him to become a murderer. A cinematic adventure story, Black Blizzard uncovers an unlikely love story and an even unlikelier friendship. € 18,70

Title :
Good-ByeAuthor: Tatsumi Yoshihiro (EDT), Tomine Adrian (TRN) Publisher: Drawn & Quarterly Pubns “Prepare to be disturbed and blown away. The stuff is remarkable, amazing.”—Los Angeles Times Good-Bye is the third in a series of collected short stories from Drawn & Quarterly by the legendary Japanese cartoonist Yoshihiro Tatsumi, whose previous work has been selected for several annual “top 10” lists, including those compiled by Amazon and Time.com. Drawn in 1971 and 1972, these stories expand the prolific artist's vocabulary for characters contextualized by themes of depravity and disorientation in twentieth-century Japan. Some of the tales focus on the devastation the country felt directly as a result of World War II: a prostitute loses all hope when American GIs go home to their wives; a man devotes twenty years of his life to preserving the memory of those killed at Hiroshima, only to discover a horrible misconception at the heart of his tribute. Yet, while American influence does play a role in the disturbing and bizarre stories contained within this volume, it is hardly the overriding theme. A philanthropic foot fetishist, a rash-ridden retiree, and a lonely public onanist are but a few of the characters etching out darkly nuanced lives in the midst of isolated despair and fleeting pleasure. € 23,10

Title :
DifettucciAuthor: Tomine Adrian Publisher: Rizzoli Ben Tanaka è un incorreggibile cinico, meschino, presuntuoso, egoista, e bugiardo. Insomma è un uomo, o meglio è un tipico trentenne di oggi, a qualsiasi latitudine. Caratteristica secondaria: è di origine asiatica e sogna di stare con una ragazza occidentale, meglio se bionda, occhi azzurri e lentiggini. Lui nega quando la sua fidanzata giapponese, Miko, glielo rinfaccia, ma inutilmente. Capita così che i litigi tra di loro comincino da gelosie e incomprensioni per approdare ad accuse di aver cancellato le proprie radici etniche. E che passando da un litigio all'altro Ben si ritrovi solo, finalmente libero di esercitare le proprie mire su chi gli pare. Ma le sue insicurezze e il suo senso di inadeguatezza gli impediscono di vivere serenamente qualunque rapporto. Un viaggio nelle contraddizioni dell'amore, un ritratto spietato di una generazione che naviga a vista. € 14,90

Title :
Summer BlondeAuthor: Tomine Adrian Publisher: Drawn & Quarterly Pubns Adrian Tomine's cult comix series Optic Nerve is finally collected into one sharp-looking hardcover volume. Described as the Raymond Carver of comix, Tomine constructs tales of emotional disconnection with an ear for painfully real dialogue. Combined with his deft black and white depictions of urbane lifestyles, Tomine's fans have often accused him of eavesdropping in on their most intimate moments and, with forensic skill, laying their lives bare. The conflicts between emotional gratification, narcissistic neediness and moral discernment mark the title story in which a socially crippled man nurses an obsessive crush on a young woman. He watches close up, paralyzed by his guilt, as her beauty catches the eye of his neighbor: a hip, selfish young man with a short attention span. One of Optic Nerve's most popular stories, `Hawaiian Getaway,` features Hilary, telephone service rep who is having the worst week of her life. She lost her job, her apartment, and her grandmother. Close to the edge, she is losing her grip. Reaching out to random strangers on the phone, Hilary is looking for someone to help her. In 'Alter Ego' a successful young author has writer`s block. He can`t, or won`t, decide between another ghostwriting gig and finishing his second 'real' novel. He stalls on committing to his novel and his girlfriend when a chance postcard leads him to flirt with fantasies of changing the past. Finally, 'Bomb Scare' documents the early unease of his generation by setting this coming-of-age story during the tense months of the Gulf War, the event that ushered in the 1990s. € 15,20
