Critics Review
“Tomine is a master of pseudorealistic stories in the tradition of raymond carver. This understated, black-and-white collection should satisfy fiction aficionados in any medium.” —Library Journal
“Brilliant… we know we’re in the hands of a major young comics artist–visually gripping and emotionally challenging.” —Kirkus Reviews
