The Push Man and Other Stories #[nn]

This collection gathers 16 short stories from the late 1960s by the legendary Japanese cartoonist Yoshihiro Tatsumi, originally serialized in the avant-garde magazine Garo. The tales offer a gritty, unflinching look at the lives of working-class men and women in postwar Japan, exploring themes of alienation, desire, and desperation with Tatsumi's signature raw, expressive style. Published by Drawn & Quarterly in 2012, this volume helped introduce English-speaking audiences to the foundational work of the gekiga movement's key figure.
