Best known for her long-running comic strip "Ernie Pook's
Comeek," illustrated fiction ("Cruddy, The Good Times Are Killing
Me"), and graphic novels ("One Hundred Demons "), the art of Lynda
Barry (b. 1956) has branched out to incorporate plays, paintings,
radio commentary, and lectures. With a combination of simple, raw
drawings and mature, eloquent text, Barry's oeuvre blurs the
boundaries between fiction and memoir, comics and literary fiction,
and fantasy and reality. Her recent volumes "What It Is" (2008) and
"Picture This" (2010) fuse autobiography, teaching guide,
sketchbook, and cartooning into coherent visions.In "Lynda Barry:
Girlhood through the Looking Glass," author Susan E. Kirtley
examines the artist's career and contributions to the field of
comic art and beyond. The study specifically concentrates on
Barry's recurring focus on figures of young girls, in a variety of
mediums and genres. Barry follows the image of the girl through
several lenses--from text-based novels to the hybrid blending of
text and image in comic art, to art shows and coloring books. In
tracing Barry's aesthetic and intellectual development, Kirtley
reveals Barry's work to be groundbreaking in its understanding of
femininity and feminism.
