Shoplifter

The brilliant debut graphic novel from the author of Back Alleys and Urban Landscapes about a young woman’s search for happiness and self-fulfillment in the big city. • “Perfectly convey[s] the loneliness of urban life.” —Entertainment Weekly

Corrina Park used to have big plans.

Studying English literature in college, she imagined writing a successful novel and leading the idealized life of an author. But she’s been working at the same advertising agency for the past five years and the only thing she’s written is ... copy. Corrina knows there must be more to life, but and she faces the same question as does everyone in her generation: how to find it? (With two-color illustrations throughout.)
