The stories collected in The Push Man are simultaneously haunting, disturbing, and darkly humorous. A lone man travels the country, projecting pornographic films for private individuals while attempting to maintain a normal home life. The lives of two men become intertwined when one hires the other to observe his sexual escapades through a telescope. An auto mechanics obsession with a female TV personality turns fatal after a chance meeting between the two This first Drawn & Quaterly (lavish, beautiful hardcover) compilation of Yoshihiro Tatsumis work, edited by Adrian Tomine, consists of 16 short stories, originally published in 1969. Most of them are very short, just 8 pages long, and appeared in a magazine called Gekiga-Young. Two longer stories at the end of the volume are more in line with what we will find in the two later books of stories from 1970 (Abandon the Old in Tokyo) and 1971-1972 (Goodbye).An alternative title for this book could be The worst jobs in the world. This is a list of occupations of the protagonists of these stories (all men):* Factory worker* Porn movies projectionist (when porn was yet illegal)* Garbage incinerator operator* Massage parlor ad-man (i mean, the guy walking the street with a placard saying Massage Parlor / Open 10 AM - 5 PM)* University lab intern / sperm donor* Pimp* Push man (one who pushes passengers into crowded rush-hour subway trains)* Sewer maintenance worker* Handicapped & unemployed peeping tom* Contract killer* Auto mechanic* Office clerk* Disinfector (one that cleans & disinfects phones)* Factory worker* Seal authentificator at an insurance company* ... and we dont know the job of the man in the last story, My Hitler, if he has one.Also, for the women, we get quite a few bar hostesses.As you can see, Tatsumis work depicts the underbelly of the affluent urban Japanese society of the economic boom of the 60s, dealing with themes of existential alienation and sexual frustration. His focus is always humanist, hes not a Marxist toting party line slogans about the woes of the proletariat. He is direct and physical, yet elliptical and poetic at the same time. I am heavily reminded of Shohei Imamuras movies of the same period, like Criterions The Pornographers and the box-set Pigs, Pimps, & Prostitutes.Now the bad news. Reading this book in one sitting can be a rather monotone affair. The stories, while good when taken on their own, tend to be very much alike when taken all together. I dont know to what extent this is Tatsumis fault (being rather one-noted in the year 1969, certainly the 8-page limit didnt help either) or Adrian Tomines fault (in not choosing two or three stories that diverged from the common pattern.) Certainly the stories in later volumes are more varied in setting, structure and subject matter, as well as having some women protagonists, too. We must also remember that the natural habitat for this stuff is a bi-weekly manga magazine, not a graphic novel.Another qualm is the Westernized left-to-right format, that plays havoc with the original page layout. Hey, publishers, Ive been reading manga in the original Japanese format for years now, and my head have not exploded yet, its a myth!Despite these shortcoming this is a must read for all Gekiga aficionados, or adult (as in grown-up) comics readers in general. Or, even more in general, for readers of good literature.
