Description
Spanning the most formative era of his life, from the painful years of adolescence to the fame and fortune of early adulthood, this collection of personal correspondences with two near-lifelong friends sheds light on the artistic development, bitter struggle and ultimate triumph of the world’s greatest living cartoonist. Crumb writes about many key events in his life; the dissolution of his first marriage, the pain of being separated from his first child, the troubles with Inland Revenue and his obsession with comics, music and women.
