Lesley Arfins Schreiben zeichnet sich durch Direktheit und rohe Intimität aus und erforscht oft die unverblümten Wahrheiten persönlicher Erfahrungen. Sie verfügt über ein scharfes, oft ironisches Beobachtungsauge, das die Komplexität von Beziehungen und gesellschaftlichen Erwartungen seziert. Arfin hat eine ausgeprägte Stimme entwickelt, die Furchtlosigkeit in Bezug auf Verletzlichkeit zeigt und gleichzeitig zum Nachdenken anregt. Ihr literarischer Ansatz legt Wert auf Authentizität und erfasst den Zeitgeist durch zutiefst persönliche Erzählungen. Leser werden von ihrer schonungslosen Ehrlichkeit und ihrer einzigartigen Perspektive angezogen.
Lesley Arfin's first graphic art collection explores the complexities of real-life struggles through vibrant and nostalgic artwork. Using a mix of watercolor, gouache, acrylic, fiber, and collage, she delves into themes of gender, feminism, fantasy, and failure. The collection reflects her unique perspective on creating "un-safe spaces," blending humor and poignancy in a visually striking format.
The Selby Is in Your Place was conceived when fashion and interiors photographer Todd Selby began taking portraits of dynamic and creative people—authors, musicians, artists, and designers—in their home environments and posting them on his web site. Nosy by nature, he wanted to see how personal style was reflected in private spaces. Lucky for us, he found his answer in the color-rich and eclectic quarters of a diverse group of subjects, including Simon Doonan and Jonathan Adler, Faris Rotter, Andre Walker, and Olivier Zahm, in New York, Los Angeles, Paris, Tokyo, Sydney, and London. Each profile is accompanied by Selby’s watercolor portraits of the subjects and objects from their homes, and illustrated questionnaires, which Selby asks each sitter to fill out. This book consists of over thirty profiles, many of which have never-before-seen, selected exclusively for the book. The result is a collection of unique spaces bursting with energy and personality that together create a colorful hodgepodge of inspirational interiors.
A collection of a girl's funniest diary entries from 12 to 25 years old. She updates each entry by tracking down the people involved and asking awkward questions like, "Do you remember when I tried to beat you up?" Sometimes old friends apologize. Sometimes they become new enemies. No matter who she talks to about the days we all discovered sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll, one thing becomes abundantly clear: Boys are totally immature."Here's your chance to have all the benefits of a tortured adolescence without the shitty childhood. Congradulations!"—Sarah Silverman
