What It Is
by Lynda Barry. New in 2008. Brilliant visual workshop for writers. |
Includes collages by Lynda between the strips. The foreword explains the origin of the 100 Demons idea. In her afterword, Lynda describes the materials and methods she used in creating the strips. Plus, this book could save your life - read about the Aswang!
This partly autobiographical display of memories and emotions portrays the life of a misfit growing up, and how that experience continues into adulthood. Plus, read it to learn how to smoke like a Filipina grandmother!
A guidebook on how a sweet exhuberant child can thrive, even in a classically dysfunctional family. This work of comic art helps us understand the poignant pains of childhood while celebrating its hilarities. comic and ironic edge Marlys and friends take you by the hand into the trauma and celebration of being a child.
Creative white-trash Freddie stumbles and crashes through his frightening universe, with little stability except for Marlys, whose acceptance and common sense and delighted humor keep him alive. This book blends grief and hilarity, pain with love and joy.
Sad, freaky, violent, and compelling. Much bleaker than Lynda's cartoon books.
The misfit narrator, Roberta, tells the horrendous tale of her cross-country trip (5 years before) with her murderous father, who makes her pretend she's a mentally deficient boy. In the present, 1971, Roberta hangs out with a group of drugged and confused teenagers, and the story interweaves the present and the past.
