A Japanese manga legend's autobiographical graphic novel about a struggling artist and the first full-length work by the great Yoshiharu Tsuge available in the English language.
Yoshiharu Tsuge is one of comics' most celebrated and influential artists, but his work has been almost entirely unavailable to English-speaking audiences. The Man Without Talent, his first book ever to be translated into English, is an unforgiving self-portrait of frustration. Swearing off cartooning as a profession, Tsuge takes on a series of unconventional jobs -- used camera salesman, ferryman, and stone collector -- hoping to find success among the hucksters, speculators, and deadbeats he does business with.
Instead, he fails again and again, unable to provide for his family, earning only their contempt and his own. The result is a dryly funny look at the pitfalls of the creative life, and an off-kilter portrait of modern Japan. Accompanied by an essay from translator Ryan Holmberg that discusses Tsuge's importance in comics and Japanese literature, The Man Without Talent is one of the great works of comics literature.
##非常东方化。温柔和残酷都淡淡地混在一起。知晓想抛弃的是何种生活,但不知道如何追求想要的生活...所以这本书只能成为某种安慰。或许就是“非常适合「貌似人人都有点存在主义危机」的当下”。即使我很早之前想要成为作者意义上useless的人,但useless的展示过于颓圮被动,不太合我口味。最喜欢的是一家三口出门旅行那一章。
评分##很好的安慰剂 丧到最后反而坦然了 无法在高度发达的资本主义社会找到用处的人 也是我啊
评分##看似底层人的自传,其实是人在有限空间内把生活用诗意最小化来度过生活之苦
