Title: Good but not as edgy as her early stuff
Review: An engaging graphic novel, but hard-core Barry fans are apt to be a little disappointed in this new "autobifictionalography," especially if they've read "My Perfect Life," which covers a lot of the same ground. Age seems to have mellowed Barry's demons, and the switch from pen and ink to brush and watercolor has definitely taken the edge off her graphic style. It would be nice if some publisher seized the moment to re-issue more of Barry's early volumes that have fallen out of print, such as "Girls and Boys" and "Big Ideas," which are hard to find even on the net. Talk about your demons!
