CONTAGIOUS IMAGINATION WORK & ART OF LYNDA BARRY SC
UNIVERSITY PRESS OF MISSISSIPP
MAY221819
Lynda Barry (b. 1956) is best known for her distinctive style and unique voice, first popularized in her underground weekly comic
Ernie Pook's Comeek. Since then, she has published prolifically, including numerous comics, illustrated novels, and nonfiction books exploring the creative process. Barry's work is genre- and form-bending, often using collage to create what she calls "word with drawing" vignettes. Her art, imaginative and self-reflective, allows her to discuss gender, race, relationships, memory, and her personal, everyday lived experience. The essays in
Contagious Imagination study the pedagogy of Barry's work and its application academically and practically.
