One Hundred Demons
Ratings7
Average rating4.9
"Name that demon!!! Freaky boyfriend! Shouting Moms! Innocence betrayed! Rotten things we've done that will haunt us forever! These are some of the pickled demons Lynda Barry's stories serve up comic-strip style, mixing the true and the un-true into something she calls "autobifictionalography". Inspired by a 16th-century Zen monk's painting of a hundred demons chasing each other across a long scroll, and encouraged by a 20th-century editor at Salon.com, Barry's demons jump out of these pages and double-dare you to speak their names." - Provided by Publisher

An open, honest, and vulnerable memoir-ish book, with vignettes of the “demons” that still sometimes haunt her.
After first not getting her and being put off by her illustration style, I now love Lynda Barry. I almost wrote, “I now get...” but I'm not sure I do. I just know that I can't get enough of her instructional comics memoirs, or whatever other genre she flirts with but doesn't quite fall into. She is utterly unique, and I want to read everything she's written.
An amusing autobiographical(?) take on a girl's childhood. In graphic novel form.
