About the book
The questions of how objects call up memories and what real images feel like run through Lynda Barry's guide to a playful creative method for writing and remembering. Every page is a full-color collage of drawings, comics and autobiographical passages, and each one both explains the process and shows it at work. Barry treats play as serious, gives monsters a purpose and counts not knowing as an answer in itself, keeping the pen moving so that words draw out pictures and places. She aims to win back every kid who ever quit drawing. Made entirely of new material, it was her first book with Drawn & Quarterly, and Salon gave it an A+.
Writer and artist Austin Kleon advised visual thinkers who want to become better writers to work through its exercises every day in a private notebook.

Austin Kleon (Writer, Artist)
Unsolicited, but here’s my advice for visual thinkers (and others) who want to be better writers: Get Lynda Barry’s What It Is and do the exercises every day in a private notebook.
