Adrian Tomine was born in 1974 in Sacramento, California. He began self-publishing his comic book series Optic Nerve. His comics have been anthologized in publications such as McSweeney's, Best American Comics, and Best American Nonrequired Reading, and his graphic novel Shortcomings was a New York Times Notable Book of 2007. Since 1999, Tomine has been a regular contributor to The New Yorker. He lives in Brooklyn with his wife and daughter.
Killing and Dying is a stunning showcase of the possibilities of the graphic novel medium and a wry exploration of loss, creative ambition, identity, and family dynamics. With this work, Adrian Tomine (Shortcomings, Scenes from an Impending Marriage) 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 here: 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.
"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-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.
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. Killing and Dying is a fraught, realist masterpiece.

评分 评分在自我世界里,我们更愿意相信,只要我们足够努力、不断输出,就可以无限拓展自我价值,也就是说自我意识可以无限放大。但是,自我意识作用于现实生活中,必然逃周围环境的影响,逃不过不过实现认识自己与对待自己时的憋闷、孤独、不自由感,惶恐与失落。事实上,这与吹气球有...
评分又丧,又笑,又不得不接受。六个漫画短篇,令人想起耶茨的《十一种孤独》,城市里这类孤独无奈,饱尝生活况味的疲惫灵魂应该比比皆是,但他们就像地铁里的行人,即使拥挤在一起,也很少彼此交流,而是匆匆而来,匆匆又去。与众不同的是,这六个故事的叙事又像俳句,作者撷取生...
评分很喜欢很契合,一口气读完整本才放下来。对人生灰色地带的剖析细腻又游刃有余,没有说教、灌输、鸡汤,没有先抑后扬。探讨了不同境遇下,人与自身如何相处,与他人如何相处,与世界如何相处。看完后并不轻松,也不沉重,却是会在心里留下浓重情绪的绘本,确实灰色才是人生的主...
喜欢Amber Sweet。淡淡的有点致郁又有时感动一下,蛮日常的感觉。
评分多个人物有路易ck既视感,中年危机风格强烈,让人不禁想到一句歌词:你是否曾感觉,像个塑料袋
评分excellent storytelling. "Translated, from the Japanese"
评分excellent storytelling. "Translated, from the Japanese"
评分4.5,尤为喜欢第一、四、五的故事。四的叙述精巧美妙,一五实在太能代入我自己……关于art的talent以及家人关系十分扎心,剩下两篇二也不错,六稍微get不到点,然而某些对白和画面十分戳人。
