""Pekar's most poignant and satisfying effort to date."—THE NEW
YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW"Dean Haspiel. . . .performs with virtuoso flair
in THE QUITTER"—THE NEW YORKER"Brutally honest."—ROLLING STONE★"A
searingly honest memoir. . . . Pekar's work dignifies the struggle of
the average man."—PUBLISHERS WEEKLY, starred In this virtuoso graphic
novel, Harvey Pekar — whose American Book Award-winning series American
Splendor was the basis for the celebrated film of the same name — tells
the story of his troubled teen years for the first time, when he would
beat up any kid who looked at him wrong just to win the praise of his
peers. And when he failed to impress, whether on the football team, in
math class, in the Navy or on the job, he simply gave up. A true
tour-de-force, THE QUITTER is the universal tale of a young man's search
for himself through the frustrations, redemptions and complexities of
ordinary life.With gritty, atmospheric artwork by indie-comics luminary
Dean Haspiel (American Splendor, Opposable Thumbs), THE QUITTER is both
Pekar's funniest and most heart-wrenching work yet, an unforgettable
graphic novel for all those, like Pekar, who have tried, failed and
lived to quit another day.
