    What a Long Strange Strip It's Been TPB (2002 K Chronicles) 1-1ST

    K Chronicles Compendium - 1st printing. By Keith Knight. Described as a combination of Calvin & Hobbes and underground comix! The K Chronicles is a semi-autobiographical comic strip by cartoonist/rapper Keith Knight that appears weekly on Salon.com and in many other fine publications (like the Pacific Sun, Las Vegas Mercury, Funny Times, and more).

The result is accessible yet subversive, compassionate and political, without being preachy. This collection features over one hundred K Chronicles strips, plus some multi-page stories and strips that have never before seen print. Softcover, 6-in. x 7-in., 128 pages, B&W.

    Why did Jane Austen struggle to write for five years before her first novel was ever published? How did Edith Maude Eaton's writing change the narrative around Chinese immigrant workers in North America? Why did the Brontë sisters choose to write under male pennames, and Anne Lister write her personal diaries in code? Learn about women writers from the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries, from familiar favorites to those who have undeservedly fallen into obscurity, and their often untold histories. Why She Wrote highlights these incredible women's hardships, their influence, and the spark that called them to write.
