The award-winning memoir translated by Taro Nettleton with a new design by Adrian Tomine In this memoir that won two Eisner Awards, the Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize, a prize at the Festival de la BD d’Angoulme, legendary manga-ka Yoshihiro Tatsumi uses his lifelong obsession with comics as a framework to tell his life story incisively and unflinchingly. He deftly weaves a complex story that encompasses Japanese culture and history, family dynamics, first love, the intricacies of the manga industry, and most importantly, what it means to be an artist. Alternately humorous, enlightening, and haunting, A Drifting Life is the masterful summation of a fascinating life and a historic career. Over sixty years ago, Yoshihiro Tatsumi expanded the horizons of comics storytelling by using the visual language of manga to tell gritty, dark, literary stories about the private lives of everyday people, a genre he coined gekiga. A Drifting Life is Tatsumis most ambitious, personal, and heart-felt work and considered to be one of the defining autobiographical works of the comics medium.
