Description: What It Is is a captivating graphic novel by Lynda Barry, published in 2008 by Drawn and Quarterly. Presented in hardcover format, this work is a must-have for any modern-age comics enthusiast. The artist/writer, Barry, takes readers on a journey of self-discovery through the use of collage, drawing, and prose. This US Comics tradition piece is a true work of art and a testament to the power of the graphic novel. Deliciously drawn (with fragments of collage worked into each page), insightful and bubbling with delight in the process of artistic creation. 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. There is some shelf wear, some foxing (oxidisation), and some UV fading on the spine. Purchased new in 2008, this book has been read once and shelved.
