Title: Solid Work, Slow-paced
Product review: "The Quitter" is Harvey Pekar's autobiographical story of the early part of his life. It details his struggles to find meaningful work and his ultimate vocation- writing for comics. Where it succeeds is when it shows his early struggles and insecurities and illustrates how difficult it was for even an acclaimed writer to get his start. The pacing is fairly slow and the narrative is just as winding and directionless as his early path in life was. This doesn't detract from the work, but rather had me reading on eagerly, wondering how he was going to screw up next.The artwork didn't blow me away- it felt pretty cliche, like something you'd see in one of those bible tracts.Hardcore Pekar fans will love the additional insight into the mind of this talented writer. Even casual fans will find this volume moderately enjoyable.
