Lynda Barry has a new book out called "What it is". Barry's book "The Greatest of Marlys!", is pretty much the best book ever, and I usually want to burn books with children in them. "What is is" was apparently rejected by Sasquatch Books, which I don't even understand, because my friend Novella used to work there, and Novella is pretty much the coolest chicken herder and goat milker of Oakland (I don't know any other goat milkers in Oakland, but I'm still certain Novella is the coolest and the coolest beekeeper). She has a book coming out soon too, and I bet it will have all kinds of stories about goatling butts, goat milk cappuccino, bunnies and biofuel.
