I was a bit turned off by the unrelenting negativity, but I found some points with which I could identify and others which were humorous, and I certainly recognize the book as one giant cathartic scream. I'm a bit curious to see how this was possibly adapted into a TV sitcom. I'll have to try an episode or two. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
In a series of 100 illustrations with accompanying text, Orli Auslander has captured a mood and emotional ambivalence that will be all too familiar for readers- trying to be the best wife, mother, and friend she can be, while simultaneously feeling shitty about virtually everything she does. Confronting her daily experience with dark humor and brilliant and brutal honesty, she shows us how being an overindulgent mother makes her feel as terrible as the times when she can?t stand the sight of her kids; how saying yes to the wrong experiences and no to the right requests is equally bad; how her Jewish heritage complicates her relationships with her overly religious family and irreligious children; and how having a vagina is the ultimate inescapable struggle.The project began as an enormously popular exhibit in a New York gallery, where viewers reacted viscerally and passionately to Auslander?s striking depictions of everyday life. This more expansive collection will dig deeper into the hugely talented and sharply observant mind of Auslander. With a distinctive, textured ink drawing style that brings to mind a female Robert Crumb and a neurotic Edward Gorey, I Feel Badis a book that readers will buy for themselves and for a best friend, and where every reader will find the precise moment that Auslander voiced their deepest anxiety in her poignant and hilarious illustrations.

I'm definitely feeling like I can waffle on this edition. I wasn't entirely in love with the art and a good portion of the topics or the graphics that were done with it, but then there were sudden ones that my heart swelled and felt smashed because of the familiarity. I think everyone can recognize the one about baggage, about how we feel family has failed us/we have failed family (both hitting at once).
Several of the issues get deeper as we get past the halfway point, touching on the internalized guilt of our society over recycling/world health, parenting, protesting/self-defense, having a period, motherhood, politeness, and marriage. There are definitely familiar and even schadenfreude moments you'll find yourself associating with your life as you go through this one. ( )
