Description

The Man Without Talent by Yoshiharu Tsuge is a poignant and humorous autobiographical graphic novel that offers an unforgiving self-portrait of frustration. Tsuge, one of comics' most celebrated artists, recounts his struggles as a struggling artist, taking on unconventional jobs in the hopes of finding success.

Despite his efforts, Tsuge fails repeatedly, unable to provide for his family and earning only their contempt and his own. This off-kilter portrait of modern Japan is a dryly funny look at the pitfalls of the creative life.

The book is accompanied by an essay from translator Ryan Holmberg that discusses Tsuge's importance in comics and Japanese literature, making it a valuable addition to any collection of comics literature.
