If there were a list of 1,000, or 100, or 10, or even 1 author to see
before you die at the top of that list should be Lynda Barry. She is
a comic book genius - a comix goddess, and one of the most delightful
and inspiring author-artists you’ll ever meet. Her new book, "What It
Is," is a deliciously drawn, insightful, and engaging take on the
process of artistic creation. “Barry is not just a storyteller, she’s
an evangelist who urges people to pick up a pen - or a brush . . . and
look at their own lives with fresh, forgiving eyes.” - San Francisco
Chronicle
Cartoonist, novelist, playwright and Booksmith favorite Lynda Barry is
the creator of the syndicated strip Ernie Pooks Comeek, featuring the
incomparable Marlys and Freddy. Her books include Cruddy, One Hundred
Demons and The Good Times Are Killing Me.
