American Splendor: Another Day by Harvey Pekar
I didn't know anything about this collection going in. As a huge fan of the movie and his longer work Our Cancer Year, I was very excited to read the short stories that Pekar is mostly known for. And I was certainly not left disappointed!
Harvey Pekar was a skilled craftsman, imbuing even the most menial stories with character, humor and emotion. His characters are real and relatable, bringing the everyday human to a place of importance rarely seen. I will definitely searching out more of his work in the future. I might even get over my cheapskate ways and buy some.
