A semi-autobiographical graphic lit book by a famous Japanese artist, I found this a little off putting. The character is trying to sell rocks for a living. Rocks he has collected from the river right next to the stand where he is trying to sell the rocks. Not surprisingly, he isn't very successful and can't really support his family. You get the picture that his wife has supported him through several other schemes that went nowhere. Nevertheless, he depicts the wife as a bit of a shrew. Not sure I'm the best audience for this book.
