"Deliciously drawn (with fragments of collage worked into each page), insightful and bubbling with delight in the process of artistic creation. A+" -Salon

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."

O que falar desta autora que mal conheço mas já considero pacas?

- Os desenhos são lindos de morrer (talvez porque eu ame colagens?)
- A caligrafia é maravilhosa (me deu vontade de escrever só por escrever)
- A história da própria Lynda nas folhas amarelas é real demais
- Os exercícios de escrita no final são muito interessantes

Me lembrou bastante do filme "O Diário De Uma Garota Adolescente", tanto pelo período em que a Lynda era adolescente (final dos anos 60, início dos 70) e pelos desenhos. Recomendo ambos!
