Killing and Dying

byAdrian Tomine

Genres: Graphic Novels Fiction Life-Rediscovery Journeys Everyday Heroism Unconventional Family Sagas

Who is this book for? Readers interested in graphic novels that explore deep emotional themes and family dynamics.

Topics FamilyIdentityEmotions

MoodReflective

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, it is a fraught, realist masterpiece about the weight of love and its absence, the pride and disappointment of family, the anxiety and hopefulness of being alive in the twenty-first century.
