Becky Barnicoat: Barnicoat, B: Cry When the Baby Cries, Flexibler Einband

Klappentext

Born out of a viral "Shouts & Murmurs" piece in The New Yorker , this "funny, unflinching" (The Guardian) graphic memoir, in the tradition of Allie Brosh and Roz Chast, hilariously captures the rollercoaster of emotions, chaos, and joy of the first few years of parenthood.

With the wit of a comedian and the observational skills of a sociologist surveying a new subculture, Becky Barnicoat writes about her first few years of parenthood with warmth, sharp insight, and uproarious humor in her debut graphic memoir Cry When the Baby Cries .

Barnicoat's relatable prose is always "loving, honest, and so funny" (Ada Calhoun, New York Times bestselling author of Why We Can't Sleep ) while discussing everything from how ignoring women's pain is baked into the practice of obstetrics to the impossibility of putting a child down drowsy but awake while you are permanently drowsy but awake, to the tyranny of gentle parenting, and more.

Barnicoat gives us permission to cry when the baby cries, and, also, laugh, snort, lie on the floor naked, drool, and revel in the deeply strange new world ruled by a tyrannical tiny leader, growing bigger and more cherished by the day.
