Susan E. Kirtley discusses Lynda Barry: Girlhood Through the Looking Glass
Lynda Barry , a Seattle native, is the subject of a new book by Portland author Susan E. Kirtley . Lynda Barry: Girlhood Through the Looking Glass Real Comet Press publisher Cathy Hillenbrand , who published Barry’s first four books, on Saturday, March 24 , at 6:00 PM at Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery
Kirtley’s book examines the influence of Lynda Barry’s youthful experiences on her creative output via personal interviews and rigorous analysis of published work. Kirtley’s thought-provoking conclusions invite readers to reassess Barry’s body of work though the lens of an often-tormented adolescent girl. Kirtley is associate professor of English at Portland State University. Her book is part of the University Press of Mississippi’s Great Comics Artists Series, which includes works on cartoonists such as Chris Ware , Alan Moore, Carl Barks , Jack Kirby , Garry Trudeau, and Walt Kelly .
Real Comet Press is the subject of the current retrospective exhibition at Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery. Taking its name from the publisher’s slogan “From Comix to Critique,” it features original art, graphics, and book works by Lynda Barry, Michael Dougan, Art Chantry, and Ruth Hayes. An informal reception and book signing will follow the discussion.
Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery is located at 1201 S. Vale Street (at Airport Way S.) Phone 206.658.0110.
