DESCRIPCIÓN:

Deliciously drawn (with fragments of collage worked into each page), insightful and bubbling with delight in the process of artistic creation. A+ -SalonHow do objects summon memories? What do real images feel like? For decades, these types of questions have permeated the pages of Lynda Barry's compositions, with words attracting pictures and conjuring places through a pen that first and foremost keeps on moving. What It Is demonstrates a tried-and-true creative method that is playful, powerful, and accessible to anyone with an inquisitive wish to write or to remember. Composed of completely new material, each page of Barry's first Drawn & Quarterly book is a full-color collage that is not only a gentle guide to this process but an invigorating example of exactly what it is: The ordinary is extraordinary. Críticas Praise for Lynda Barry: Barry is, underneath the wonky handwriting and the quirky, naïve drawings, a great memoirist . . . Like [Tobias] Wolff and [Dave] Eggers, she finds a tone that accommodates self-criticism and self-irony without tipping over into self-loathing . . . but what she is particularly good at is resonance. "The New York Times" Barry is not just a storyteller, shes an evangelist who urges people to pick up a penor a brush . . . and look at their own lives with fresh, forgiving eyes. "San Francisco Chronicle" Americas leading cartoon artist of childhood angst . . . The precise rightness of Barrys smallest observation puts TVs "The Wonder Years" to shame.
