Praise for Lynda Barry:
“Barry is, underneath the wonky handwriting and the quirky, naïve
drawings, a great memoirist . . . Like [Tobias] Wolff and [Dave]
Eggers, she finds a tone that accommodates self-criticism and
self-irony without tipping over into self-loathing . . . but what
she is particularly good at is resonance.” —"The New York
Times
" “Barry is not just a storyteller, she’s an evangelist who
urges people to pick up a pen—or a brush . . . and look at their
own lives with fresh, forgiving eyes.” —"San Francisco
Chronicle
" “America’s leading cartoon artist of childhood angst . . .
The precise rightness of Barry’s smallest observation puts TV’s
"The Wonder Years" to shame.” —"Entertainment Weekly
"
