{"product_id":"a-nobody-artist-yoshiharu-tsuge-9781770468597","title":"A Nobody Artist","description":"A revealing glimpse into the life and times of alt-manga’s most intriguing comics auteur\nTsuge Yoshiharu remains an elusive and highly influential character as he moves into the final phase of his career. \nA Nobody Artist features a number of loosely (and disputably) semiautobiographical vignettes often concerning a young cartoonist trying to make a go of it in the shifting manga market. True to form, Tsuge delivers much more than a straight accounting of a cartoonist’s life. Lust routinely distracts our young artists while older artists again and again provide a model for what not to do, or more likely, where a cartoonist’s life will lead you. Fleeting moments of domestic happiness are upset by bouts of self-doubt. As always, Tsuge’s art is succinct and glorious—a beautiful document of a changing Japan.\nThis penultimate volume in Drawn and Quarterly’s complete collection of the manga-ka’s oeuvre collects richly-detailed and deeply human comics stories originally published between 1981 and 1985. Translated by prolific manga scholar and art historian Ryan Holmberg.","brand":"Drawn and Quarterly","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68208043688224,"sku":"9781770468597","price":21.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781770468597_3123071.jpg?v=1794243318","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/a-nobody-artist-yoshiharu-tsuge-9781770468597","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
