My Most Secret Desire by Julie Doucet HC

"""One of the most promising of the younger graphic noelists."" —Charles McGrath, The New York Times Magazine Considered by many to be the most influential female cartoonist eer, Julie Doucet created an iconic body of work in the ten short years she solely deoted herself to her trailblazing comic-book series Dirty Plotte. Her comics are densely inked and detailed with a pulsating neurosis from a decidedly female point of iew that set the comic-book world on its head when the series debuted. Doucet returns to comics after a fie-year hiatus with a reworked edition of her dream journal My Most Secret Desire, complete with neer-before-published material. My Most Secret Desire is considered to be Doucet 's most innoatie 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 feerish and surreal pitch."
