Along the way, Tomine tackles modern culture, sexual mores, and racial politics with brutal honesty and lacerating, irreverent humor, while deftly bringing to life a cast of painfully real antihero characters. A frequent contributor to \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e, Tomine has acquired a cultlike fan following and has earned status as one of the most widely acclaimed cartoonists of our time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eShortcomings\u003c\/i\u003e was serialized in Tomine's iconic comic book series \u003ci\u003eOptic Nerve\u003c\/i\u003e and was excerpted in \u003ci\u003eMcSweeney's Quarterly Concern #13\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Drawn and Quarterly","offers":[{"title":"Shortcomings | Adrian Tomine | Hardcover | 9781897299166 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks A 1775154","offer_id":50757088968962,"sku":"1775154","price":22.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/61Kv-WOnMKL.jpg?v=1792030351","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/shortcomings","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
