<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Nearsighted Monkey" collects a series of portraits in which the pleasant primate goes about her daily life--smoking while hogging the remote, making pancakes, waiting for the bus--alternately bundled up for her travels or lounging in slippers and a housecoat.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>The creative-drawing companion to the acclaimed and bestselling </b><i><b>What It Is</b><br></i> <p/>Lynda Barry single-handedly created a literary genre all her own, the graphic memoir/how-to, otherwise known as the bestselling, the acclaimed, but most important, the adored and the inspirational <i>What It Is</i>. The R. R. Donnelley and Eisner Award-winning book posed, explored, and answered the question: Do you wish you could write? Now with <i>Picture This</i>, Barry asks: Do you wish you could draw? It features the return of Barry's most beloved character, Marlys, and introduces a new one, the Near-sighted Monkey. Like <i>What It Is</i>, <i>Picture This </i>is an inspirational, take-home extension of Barry's traveling, continually sold-out, and sought-after workshop, Writing the Unthinkable.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"The collages in legendary cartoonist Lynda Barry's <i>What It Is </i>are a bathysphere-like odyssey through the depths of her funky subconscious." --<i>Elissa Schappel, Vanity Fair On What It Is</i> <p/>"Meditations, stories and images float past in a random fashion, segueing between darkness and hope, or adulthood and childhood, the way they might in dreams or memory. " --<i>CAROL KINO, The New York Times On What It Is</i> <p/>"<i>What It Is </i>is part diary, part showcase, part manifesto for the power of the imagination. It's bold and beautiful; angry and sad; joyful and loving and nervous." --<i>JULIA KELLER, Chicago Tribune On What It Is</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Lynda Barry</b> has worked as a painter, cartoonist, writer, illustrator, playwright, editor, commentator, and teacher, and found they are very much alike. She lives in Wisconsin.</p>
