Sleepwalk cover

A follow-up to Shortcomings, Adrian Tomine's UK debut, this is the first publication here of Sleepwalk, his classic collection of witty and oddly haunting stories.

An old woman returns alone to the spot where as a young girl she used to meet her lover on his daily lunch break. 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.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.
