A Picture This: Near-sighted Monkey Book

The creative-drawing companion to the acclaimed and bestselling What It Is Lynda Barry single-handedly created a literary genre all her own, the graphic memoir/how-to, otherwise known as the bestselling, the acclaimed, but most important, the adored and the inspirational What It Is.

The R. R. Donnelley and Eisner Award-winning book posed, explored, and answered the question: Do you wish you could write?

Now with Picture This, Barry asks: Do you wish you could draw?

It features the return of Barry's most beloved character, Marlys, and introduces a new one, the Near-sighted Monkey.

Like What It Is, Picture This is an inspirational, take-home extension of Barry's traveling, continually sold-out, and sought-after workshop, Writing the Unthinkable.
