Bello il formato, bella l’idea, bello lo stile di Tomine ma qui a mio avviso rispetto agli altri suoi libri si perde un po’ di valore. L’autocommiserazione del fumettista “sfigato” dopo un poi si fa ripetitiva e pur essendoci sottotraccia (molto sottotraccia) la sua vicenda familiare, il libro non riesce a raggiungere la memorabilità di fumetti come Shortcomings e soprattutto Killing and Dying. A friend recommended another of this author's works but this was the first the library could get for me - I loved it! I am a visual artist but I could very well relate to Tomine's awkwardness, obsessions and phobias. It felt good to laugh with him and at myself simultaneously. Looking forward to reading more. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

What happens when a childhood hobby grows into a lifelong career? The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Cartoonist, Adrian Tomine's funniest and most revealing foray into autobiography, offers an array of unexpected answers. When a sudden medical incident lands Tomine in the emergency room, he begins to question if it was really all worthwhile: despite the accolades and opportunities of a seemingly charmed career, it's the gaffes, humiliations, slights, and insults he's experienced (or caused) within the industry that loom largest in his memory. Tomine illustrates the amusing absurdities of how we choose to spend our time, all the while mining his conflicted relationship with comics and comics culture. But in between chaotic book tours, disastrous interviews, and cringe-inducing interactions with other artists, life happens: he fumbles his way into marriage, parenthood, and an indisputably fulfilling existence. A richer emotional story emerges as his memories are delineated in excruciatingly hilarious detail. In a bold stylistic departure from his award-winning Killing and Dying, he distills his art to the loose, lively essentials of cartooning, each pen stroke economically imbued with human depth. Designed as a sketchbook complete with placeholder ribbon and an elastic band, The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Cartoonist shows an acclaimed artist at the peak of his career."--Amazon.

I wish the author let himself go a little more, when he does there is something of magic. ( )
