Shortcomings
by Adrian Tomine
It’s been almost two decades since this was published. With an adaptation coming out soon, I wanted to revisit Shortcomings, remembering the icks I felt the first time I read it. The icks were still there, and more surfaced (r-word, f-slurs, slut-shaming, etc.).
Asianness, whiteness, queerness, loneliness, friendships, loveships, change and the resistance to change—Adrian Tomine, a New Yorker cover familiar, has his cast color the spectrum of these identities and relations (in b&w). It gives Ghost World, but with (qpoc) adults who should know better.
