Book excerpt: "Over four decades ago, Yoshihiro Tatsumi expanded the horizons of comics story telling by using the visual language of manga to tell gritty, literacy short stories about the private lives of everyday people. he had been called "the grandfather of Japanese alternative comics" and has influenced generations of cartoonists, but, until now, the majority of his work has remained unavailable outside of Japan. By turns poetic, comical, and deeply unsettling, Abandon the Old in Tokyo is a collection of unforgettable short stories from the modern master."--BOOK JACKET.
