I forgot how ridiculous and hilarious and gut-wrenching childhood was. Lynda Barry totally nails it. She is the master of the universe. ( ) This is a collection of Marlys-related strips created over a period of several years. Collectively, they convey sadness, humor, and nostalgia for the weird, difficult realm of childhood, which is convincingly portrayed. Marlys' world is one of poverty and neglect, but also of beauty, creativity, and hilarity. At the beginning of the book, Marlys' cousin Arna wonders why Marlys thinks she's so great. By the end of the book, I know the answer (because she is!), and wish that Arna had a similar opinion of herself (because she also is!). In a brief afterword, Barry says that this is not a memoir of her own childhood, but implies that it has some things in common. Zeige 3 von 3 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Eight-year-old Marlys Mullen is Lynda Barry's most famous character from her long-running and landmark comic strip Ernie Pook's Comeek, and for good reason! Given her very own collection of strips, Marlys shines in all her freckled and pig-tailed groovy glory. The trailer park where she and her family live is the grand stage for her dramas big and small. Joining Marlys are her teenaged sister Maybonne, her younger brother Freddie, their mother, and an offbeat array of family members, neighbors, and classmates. Marlys's enthusiasm for life knows no bounds. Her childhood is one where the neighborhood kids stay out all night playing kickball; the desire to be popular is unending; bullies are unrepentant; and parents make few appearances. The Greatest Of Marlys spotlights Barry's masterful skill of chronicling childhood through adolescence in all of its wonder, awkwardness, humor, and pain. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
