This stunning autobiographical art book recounts self-taught artist Tejubehan\u0026amp;;s journey from an impoverished childhood in rural India, through her family\u0026amp;;s efforts to improve their lot in a tent city in Mumbai, and into her adulthood, when she lived as a singer and artist with her husband. The direct, unadorned text has an immediacy that reveals its roots as an orally narrated life story… As a physical artifact, it draws attention to its creation with stiff pages and fragrant, tactile inks… A unique offering that presents readers with arresting artwork and a compelling life story.\u0026amp;; Starred Review, Kirkus Reviews\n\n\"Self-taught artist Tejubehan weaves a partly autobiographical, partly escapist, whimsically illustrated tale of a woman trapped between unimaginable poverty and a wildly imaginative inner world in a patriarchal society.\" - Maria Popova for the New York Public Library bookstore\n\n\"...more exquisite and born out of a more moving personal story than just about any book I\u0026amp;;ve come across.\" Brainpickings.org\n\n\"Perfect for anyone interested in printmaking, and would make an extra-special gift for the budding feminist in your family.\" Nashville Scene\n\nA large-format, silk-screened, hand-printed masterpiece.
