{"product_id":"love-that-bunch-9781770463059","title":"Love That Bunch","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe early work of the pioneering feminist cartoonist plus her acclaimed new story \"Dream House\"\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAline Kominsky-Crumb immediately made her mark in the Bay Area's underground comix scene with unabashedly raw, dirty, unfiltered comics chronicling the thoughts and desires of a woman coming of age in the 1960s. Kominsky-Crumb didn't worry about self-flattery. In fact, her darkest secrets and deepest insecurities were all the more fodder for groundbreaking stories. Her exaggerated comix alter ego, Bunch, is self-destructive and grotesque but crackles with the self-deprecating humor and honesty of a cartoonist confident in the story she wants to tell. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCollecting comics from the 1970s through today, \u003ci\u003eLove That Bunch\u003c\/i\u003e is shockingly prescient while still being an authentic story of its era. Kominsky-Crumb was ahead of her time in juxtaposing the contradictory nature of female sexuality with a proud, complicated feminism. Most important, she does so without apology. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOne of the most famous and idiosyncratic cartoonists of our time, Kominsky-Crumb traces her steps from a Beatles-loving fangirl, an East Village groupie, an adult grappling with her childhood, and a 1980s housewife and mother, to a new thirty-page story, \"Dream House,\" that looks back on her childhood forty years later. \u003ci\u003eLove That Bunch\u003c\/i\u003e will be Kominsky-Crumb's only solo-authored book in print. Originally published as a book in 1990, this new expanded edition follows her to the present, including an afterword penned by the noted comics scholar Hillary Chute.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Drawn \u0026amp; Quarterly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781770463059\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.20h x 8.50w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2018 pg. 55\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Aline Kominsky-Crumb","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43271952433333,"sku":"9781770463059","price":25.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_bbdd521a-827b-492c-a375-9966c94a85a1.jpg?v=1699959062","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/love-that-bunch-9781770463059","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
