In addition to being rampantly critical, sarcastic, and insensitive, his long-term relationship is awash in turmoil. His girlfriend, Miko Hayashi, suspects that Ben has a wandering eye, and more to the point, it's wandering in the direction of white women. This accusation (and its various implications) becomes the subject of heated, spiralling debate, setting in motion a story that pits California against New York, devotion against desire, and trust against truth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adrian Tomine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1897299753\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781897299753\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Drawn \u0026amp; Quarterly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/28\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.30w x 0.50d","brand":"Adrian Tomine","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44050603802879,"sku":"9781897299753","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_477ad682-0825-4391-ade2-6a20d4281286.jpg?v=1685008200","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/shortcomings-adrian-tomine-9781897299753","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
