Sleepwalk
Sleepwalk | Adrian Tomine
3 posts | 6 read | 2 to read
An old woman returns alone to the spot where as a young girl she used to meet her lover on his daily lunch break. An unsuspecting couple find themselves drawn to a window to watch the neighbours' kinky play turn into something more sinister. Twin teenage sisters make an awkward pilgrimage with their ageing-hippie father. A young guy misses his flight and returns to observe a kind of alternate version of his own life, one from which he seems to have vanished. Sleepwalk is a classic Tomine collection, a series of vignettes that scratch beneath the surface of seemingly well-adjusted lives.

A bleak but honest collection of misconnections, meaninglessness, and everyday cowardice. My favorite might be Supermarket--the loneliness of a blind man who tries and fails to befriend someone obligated to help him--or maybe Dylan & Donovan: a road trip that only reveals the distance between its participants. A healthy dose of depression for fans of short form masters.
