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.
##第一次荐购给校图书馆十二楼的一本书
评分##Jobless之人感到共情。真丧!
评分##无用是否为无能,在这个疯狂创造价值的年代,人的天赋该如何定义?当知草木一秋,江流石不转,为stone赞。
评分##最喜欢的是主人公和旧书店老板在最后一部分的对话。“这样说很不公平,我已经很努力了!” “你的意思是,你想让自己看起来很努力。” 我很好奇,那一刻他是什么感受呢?是震惊的同时羞愧难当,还是大石落地般的轻松?毕竟,他打心眼里就没认同过商业社会的逻辑,他的骨子里只有零散的闲适和浪漫,正如那些河岸上捡来的石头,像风像云又像孤舟。他在维持原我和靠近社会期待的样貌间不断徘徊,让人想起他想修的那座桥——终是没有修成,唯有日复一日艰难地来回渡河。
评分##想要纵身跃进风里的人啊和系在他们脚腕上的不知冷热的锁链
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
评分"无能的人,就是在高度资本主义社会中,他的存在没有目的和用处的人。" 并非真的无能,只是他们的遁世与时代格格不入,被"如何养活自己"这个命题给逼到墙角.
评分##易读,虽然英文,但是是插画,阅读量不大
