Als Miko nach New York zieht, um dort eine Weile zu studieren, bleibt Ben allein zurück. Ben, ein verwirrter und besessener Theatermanager von 30 Lenzen, versucht verzweifelt sich die großen Fragen des Lebens zu beantworten. Aber dabei steht ihm nur seine promiske Freundin Alice zur Seite. Zudem verbringt er mehr und mehr Zeit mit seiner neuen Angestellten Autumn, was die Dinge nur noch komplizierter zu machen scheint. Weiß er wirklich was er will? Charmant und gleichzeitig voller Schmerz ist Adrian Tomines "Shortcomings" eines der subtilsten, geistreichsten und bewegendsten Werke der gegenwärtigen Comicliteratur.When Miko moves temporarily to live and study in New York she leaves behind behind Ben, a confused, obsessive, 30-year-old theatre manager who finds himself desperately trying to answer the big questions. But aided only by his promiscuous friend Alice, and spending increasing time with his new employee Autumn, things only seem to get more confusing. Does he know what he wants? Is he everything Miko accuses him of? Should he follow her to New York? §§A painful, charming and stunningly illustrated look at the realities of modern relationships, Shortcomings is one of the most brilliantly subtle, witty and moving graphic novels around.
