A brief history of the art form known as "Hortisculpture" -- Amber Sweet -- Go Owls -- Translated, from the Japanese, -- Killing and dying -- Intruders. "With this work, Adrian Tomine (Shortcomings, Scenes from an Impending Marriage) reaffirms his gift for capturing emotion and intellect resonates: the weight of love and its absence, the pride and disappointment of family, the anxiety and hopefulness of being alive in the twenty-first century. “Amber Sweet” shows the disastrous impact of mistaken identity in a hyper-connected world; “A Brief History of the Art Form Known as Hortisculpture” details the invention and destruction of a vital new art form; “Translated, from the Japanese,” is a lush, full-color display of storytelling through still images; the title story, "Killing and Dying," centers on parenthood, mortality, and stand-up comedy. In six interconnected, darkly funny stories, Tomine forms a quietly moving portrait of contemporary life." -Provided by publisher. 20231127.
