The epic autobiography of a manga master Acclaimed for his visionary short-story collections 'The Push Man and Other Stories, ' 'Abandon the Old in Tokyo, ' and 'Good-Bye' originally created nearly forty years ago, but just as resonant now as ever the legendary Japanese cartoonist Yoshihiro Tatsumi has come to be recognized in North America as a precursor of today's graphic novel movement. 'A Drifting Life' is his monumental memoir eleven years in the making, beginning with his experiences as a child in Osaka, growing up as part of a country burdened by the shadows of World War II. Spanning fifteen years from August 1945 to June 1960, Tatsumi's stand-in protagonist, Hiroshi, faces his father's financial burdens and his parents' failing marriage, his jealous brother's deteriorating health, and the innumerable pitfalls that await him in the competitive manga market of mid-twentieth-century Japan. He dreams of following in the considerable footsteps of his idol, the manga artist Osamu Tezuka ('Astro Boy, ' 'Apollo's Song, ' 'Ode to Kirihito, ' 'Buddha') with whom Tatsumi eventually became a peer and, at times, a stylistic rival. As with his short-story collection, 'A Drifting Life' is designed by Adrian Tomine. '
