Slum Wolf #[nn]

Slum Wolf collects the gritty, street-level manga short stories of Tadao Tsuge, originally published in Japanese underground comics of the 1970s and 1980s. This NYRB release brings together tales of drifters, day laborers, and outcasts navigating the seedy underbelly of post-war Tokyo, rendered in Tsuge's raw, observational style. The volume offers a stark, unglamorous portrait of life on the margins, showcasing Tsuge's influence on alternative manga and his reputation as a chronicler of the dispossessed.
