Description: Niffenegger, Audrey. Very Good. No Dj. 4to-over 9¾"-12" The author of The Time Traveler's Wife, Audrey Niffenegger was, in the mid-1980s, a student at the School of Art Institute of Chicago. A series of drawings she made there—of a young woman who wears a skirt and gloves and nothing else, gives birth to a cat, disguises herself as a giant moth, is tormented by disembodied hands-eventually turned into this, her first book, which she handmade a few copies of through traditional letterpress, aqua ... read more
"As with The Three Incestuous Sisters, this book was mainly artwork and not your typical book with a plot. But I am glad I read it, and along with 3IS it helped me to understand Niffenegger's macabre sensibilities that really didn't come through in Time Traveler's Wife, and so I wasn't taken by surprise at the tone and ending of Her Fearful Symmetry. Worth a read: order both of Niffenegger's illustrated novels from your library via Inter-Library Loan."
"Not a huge fan of her picture books. But you can tell they mean a lot to her. Interesting to see someone's sketch book going into an actual bound book. I would never buy one of these but I enjoy them as a quick read from the library."
"I purchased this in NYC while attending Audrey's reading of Her Fearful Symmetry. Audrey is a visual artist as well as a fantastic author, and here we see the two mediums come together.
Illustrating the story with a unique art technique called Aquatints, Audrey introduces us to a woman created through Alchemy, and the trials and tribulations she endures.
Sometimes creepy and disturbing, always beautiful, her artwork grows in detail as the written words begin to diminish.. allowing the pictures to tell the story."
