Her comics are densely inked and detailed with a pulsating neurosis from a decidedly female point of view that set the comic-book world on its head when the series debuted. Doucet returns to comics after a five-year hiatus with a reworked edition of her dream journal \u003ci\u003eMy Most Secret Desire\u003c\/i\u003e, complete with never-before-published material. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eMy Most Secret Desire\u003c\/i\u003e is considered to be Doucet 's most innovative work, exploring the longings, pressures, and exploits of the feminine subconscious. Nightmarish tales of pregnancy, menstruation, sex changes, and boyfriends haunt Doucet's nocturnal psyche with a feverish and surreal pitch.\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 06\/13\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781896597959\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.30h x 6.80w x 0.72d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/05\/2005 pg. 37\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/15\/2005 pg. 1299\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/2006 pg. 56\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eQuill \u0026amp; Quire\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2006 pg. 38\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/07\/2006 pg. 66\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Julie Doucet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43059903725749,"sku":"9781896597959","price":16.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_d2374df8-311b-4459-8f8e-512a88295c2f.jpg?v=1690300615","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/my-most-secret-desire-9781896597959","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
