ENGLISH BOOK
Adrian Tomine can draw, think, write and feel. He sees everything,
he knows everything; he's in your apartment, he's on the subway, he's
in your dreams ... He has more ideas in twenty panels than novelists
have in a lifetime.' Zadie Smith In his first full-length work since
Shortcomings in 2007, and working with colour for the first time, Adrian
Tomine has produced a darkly funny and deeply moving collection of
stories which showcases his exceptional range of focus and technique. A
masterpiece about the anxieties of being alive in the twenty-first
century, Killing and Dying is Tomine's most ambitious and empathetic
work to date. Born in Sacramento in 1974, Adrian Tomine is the author of
the acclaimed comic series Optic Nerve. His books include Shortcomings,
Summer Blonde, Sleepwalk, Scenes from an Impending Marriage and, most
recently, New York Drawings, all of which are published by Faber in the
UK. Since 1999, his comics and illustrations have appeared regularly in
The New Yorker, where he has created more than a dozen iconic covers. He
lives in Brooklyn, New York, with his wife and daughters.
