内容简介:"Inklings is fresh and powerful. A truly new voice has arrived on the scene."—Mary Pipher, author of Seeking Peace "This is the opposite of a sentimental survivor memoir. Koterba pays tribute to the raw materials of his childhood with an unerring eye and shows us how to make art, not in spite of adversity, but because of it."—Richard Dooling, author of White Man's Grave "Koterba takes us on a journey of discovery that changes our perceptions about survival and artistic creation. Told with elegant simplicity, this memoir documents the passion of a boy who will not surrender his obsession, whose brilliance develops wit and cunning and fire to shield his sensitivity to the world around him."—Jonis Agee, author of The River Wife "Koterba writes with charm, warmth, and honesty, creating a portrait of the artist that is both rich with nostalgia and haunted by family battles."—Timothy Schaffert, author of Devils in the Sugar Shop "Cartoonists have had at least as much influence on the survival of our democracy as those who pen thousands of words. This book tells how one of the best came to risk the ire of people like me who needed someone to tell us how we really look."—Bob Kerrey, President of the New School, former US Senator and Governor of Nebraska "Editorial Cartoonist Jeff Koterba turns his observational talent inward to produce a deeply engaging and truly heartwarming memoir. Read this book and feel good!"—Jimmy Margulies, Editorial Cartoonist for The Record and King Features
