ADRIAN TOMINE
talk & booksigning for Shortcomings
Wednesday, November 14 at 7 pm
at The Booksmith (1644 Haight Street in San Francisco)
>From one of the finest cartoonists of his generation comes one of the
most anticipated graphic novels of 2007. Shortcomings, Adrian Tomine's
first long-form graphic novel, is the story of Ben Tanaka, a confused,
obsessive, Japanese American male in his late twenties, and his cross-
country search for contentment (or at least the perfect girl). Don't
miss this special event.
Adrian Tomine is a graduate of U.C. Berkeley and lives in Brooklyn,
New York. His illustrations have appeared in myriad publications,
including Esquire and Rolling Stone, and his stories have appeared in
The Best American Nonrequired Reading and An Anthology of Graphic
Fiction, Cartoons, and True Stories. A frequent contributor to The New
Yorker, Tomine has acquired a cult following which has earned him a
status as one of the most widely acclaimed cartoonists of our time.
