A review by levitybooks
New York Drawings by Adrian Tomine
4.0
This isn't a story, it's a collection of Tomine's work for the front cover of 'The New Yorker'. Premium coffee table material. Many of these images make up part of my laptop desktop background slideshow. It's therefore sort of silly to review it, but the art does not disappoint.
I couldn't choose one favourite. It's a tie between the cover image ('Missed Communication'), 'Road Trips' and 'The Next Small Thing'; to me these three all have a stronger sense of setting than the others. More than the others, they tell a story. Perhaps I see it this way because there is more focus between the interaction of two characters in a strict non-mundane context (no extras, clearly a 'main' scene to the people involved, many questions raised).
