# Borb - Hardcover

by **Jason Little** (Author)

**Selected for The Best American Nonrequired Reading 2016**

_Borb_ by Jason Little (_Shutterbug Follies_, _Motel Art Improvement Service_) is the story of Borb, a severely alcoholic homeless man. Borb is a downtrodden urban Candide whose misfortunes pile up at an alarming rate. The narrative is presented as a series of daily newspaper strips as the author draws on the long and complex tradition of the comic strip slapstick vagabond archetype. At once hilarious, horrifying, and full or heart, _Borb_ depicts the real horrors specific to present-day urban homelessness. _Borb_ is Little's most complex and challenging work.

**Jason Little** studied photography at Oberlin College, and now resides in Brooklyn with writer Myla Goldberg and their daughter Zelie Goldberg-Little. He has been drawing cartoons since he was a child. In addition to acclaimed _Shutterbug Follies_ and _Motel Art Improvement Service_, he also created the Xeric Award-winning _Jack's Luck Runs Out_, as well as a number of short works for various cartoon anthologies.
