Amb motiu de la recent publicació de Shortcomings, la seva primera novel·la gràfica, dues revistes on-line n’entrevisten l’autor: The Believer i New York (ambdues en anglès).
"I was trying to write a more adult story. I didn?t want the conflict to
be between the nerds and the jocks who bully them. I was hoping that
this would exist in a world where that kind of stuff doesn?t even
really enter into your mind. It?s not on my mind anymore. I don?t see
the world in the same sort of strata as I did fifteen years ago. I
sense a real difference in my work from the time I was younger and
single and more involved in the world of music and going out to bars
and all that." (Adrian Tomine)
