Review:
'One of the most masterful cartoonists of his generation.
Shortcomings is equal parts poignant, hilarious and sad.'

good contemporary fiction. Tomine has both talent and a writer's eye for
the truth.' -- Nick Hornby
'Shortcomings is as deceptively simple and perfect as a comic book
gets.' -- Jonathan Lethem
