What It Is / Barry, Lynda., 2008

 Item
Identifier: CC-48263-69288
Scope and Contents

This is the second printing of this graphic novel. Amazon.com review: "How 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." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
