Lynda Barry
The Freddie Stories: With the Great Marlys! and Sister Maybonne
Lynda Barry
Sasquatch Books
, 2002
Tragic, Poetic
I've been a big fan of Lynda Barry's cartoon-format books. This is certainly the darkest, most poignant one. It deals with the character Freddy,an odd child who tries to cope with his outcast status by boldly embracing his oddness and eccentricities. However, as is the ...
One Hundred Demons
Lynda Barry
Sasquatch Books
, 2005
Wife: "Best book I've read in, like, years!"
I bought "One Hundred Demons" as kind of a shot-in-the-dark gift for my wife. She ended up reading it all in one sitting and gave me her opinion. "This book is, like, one of the best books I've read in years! You have to read it! She even, like, gives you instructions ...
Down the Street
Lynda Barry
Harper Perennial
, 1988
Wonderful! Funny, sad, evocative.
Lynda Barry's messy, amateurish drawings evoke childhood better than just about anything else I've read. She risks overparticularity in describing the specific time and place when she grew up, but evades it consistently because she has such a great eye and ear for ...
The Greatest of Marlys
Lynda Barry
Sasquatch Books
, 2002
Hilarious and Touching
I love Marlys and her goofiness. She is alternately hilarious (as when she describes all the different methods of fake smoking, such as the gum cigarrette with its realistic coughing, or a hot dog, for when you're having hobo feelings) and touching (as when she ...
What It Is
Lynda Barry
Drawn and Quarterly
, 2008
A guide on remembering
One of the most important aspects of writing anything-- memoir, fiction, poetry--is the ability to remember. Sounds simple, but we forget so much naturally and are actively encouraged to forget what doesn't suit the needs of any particular group, usually family. Lynda ...
CRUDDY: An Illustrated Novel
Lynda Barry
Simon & Schuster
, 2000
For those with a dark and twisted sense of humor
Cruddy is a little black diamond of a book that will resonate with those who possess an extremely dark sense of humor. While definitely not for the faint-hearted, Cruddy has vividly drawn characters and a complicated but satisfying narrative structure which alternates ...
The Good Times Are Killing Me
Lynda Barry
Sasquatch Books
, 2002
A must-read.
This is the book that got me started on my Lynda Barry addiction. I stumbled on to this book by fortuitous accident. It's brilliant. It is simple in its style with a reach deep into the heart of complex feelings and issues. While not as riveting as Cruddy, it is ...
The Best American Comics 2008 (The Best American Series)
Houghton Mifflin
, 2008
This newest addition to the Best American Series returns with a set of both established and up-and-coming contributors. Editor Lynda Barry and brand-new series editors Jessica Abel and Matt Madden, acclaimed cartoonists in their own right, culled the best stories from graphic novels, pamphlet comics, newspapers, magazines, mini-comics, and the web ...
My Perfect Life
Lynda Barry
Harper Perennial
, 1992
Lynda saw what you did...
You will think that Lynda has been reading your diary, when you were sure you had the key in your locket. You will see that she understands your every whim because she has been through childhood as her reincarnated self so many times that she can see the inside of ...
The Fun House
Lynda Barry
Harper Perennial
, 1988
This is a great book!
I really liked this book and anyone who grew up in the past twenty five years will like it too. The part about the bike races down the hill was right from my childhood!
Come Over, Come Over
Lynda Barry
Harper Perennial
, 1990
You gotta read this book, man.
I stumbled upon this incredible book in the used section of a local comic book store. I'd already read two of her other collections of pictures and stories and was totally siked when I saw this one. It really blew my mind, man. I mean, its a totally awesome ...
It's So Magic
Lynda Barry
Harper Perennial
, 1994
I Love Lynda Barry!
This is an absolutely amazing work. If you can get your hands on it it is definately worth the effort. I first read it a few years ago and must have read it about six times since then. It deals with love, friends, family, homosexuality, and life in general. I ...
Naked Ladies Naked Ladies Naked Ladies
Lynda Barry
Real Comet Pr
, 1984
Yes, they are ladies and they are naked.
This 1984 oversized coloring book contains 54 black and white pictures of ladies of various shapes and sizes in a range of poses and in varying states of undress. In the centre of the book is a colour poster with 56 colour pictures (all the cards and four jokers). ...
Girls & Boys
Lynda Barry
Real Comet Press
, 1981
One of her best
This is very early Lynda Barry. I have a soft spot for it because it is the first book I ever saw of hers and I was blown away by the art and the sensibility. Those familiar with her stuff from the last 10 years or so, which is big on narrative and text, will find this ...
The Lynda Barry Experience
Audio Literature
, 1996
Poignant and funny
Lynda Barry is one of the great storytellers of our time. Her cartoon anthologies are not to be missed. This cassette contains about 12 true ("except the ones that are big, honking lies") stories of her life, mostly her youth. Each one contains Barry's ...
