{"product_id":"love-that-bunch-9781770463059","title":"Love That Bunch","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe early work of the pioneering feminist cartoonist plus her acclaimed new story Dream House\"  Aline Kominsky-Crumb immediately made her mark in the Bay Areas 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 didnt 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.  Collecting comics from the 1970s through today  Love That Bunch 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.  One 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. Love That Bunch will be Kominsky-Crumbs 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45666106146869,"sku":"ByrdShop_1770463054","price":63.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781770463059.jpg?v=1782419883","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/love-that-bunch-9781770463059","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
