With this work, Tomine (\u003ci\u003eShortcomings\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eScenes from an Impending Marriage\u003c\/i\u003e) reaffirms his place not only as one of the most significant creators of contemporary comics, but as one of the great voices of modern American literature. His gift for capturing emotion and intellect resonates: 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"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; \"Translated, from the Japanese,\" is a lush, full-color display of storytelling through still images; the title story, Killing and Dying, centers on parenthood, mortality, and stand-up comedy. In six interconnected, darkly funny stories, Tomine forms a quietly moving portrait of contemporary life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAdrian Tomine is a master of the small gesture, equally deft at signaling emotion via a subtle change of expression or writ large across landscapes illustrated in full color. \u003ci\u003eKilling and Dying\u003c\/i\u003e is a fraught, realist masterpiece.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAdrian Tomine\u003c\/b\u003e was born in 1974 in Sacramento, California.
