Maria Bamford Knihy

Fans of Maria Bamford's acclaimed quasi-autobiographical Lady Dynamite Netflix series already know of her romance with LA painter Scott Marvel Cassidy, as well as her droll pug sidekicks Blueberry and Bert. Now the story has been recounted in the graphic novella Hogbook and Lazer Eyes, written by Bamford/Cassidy, drawn by Cassidy, and all told by the rescue dogs they've adopted.

The memoir offers a brutally honest and humorously chaotic glimpse into the life of stand-up comedian Maria Bamford, exploring her experiences in show business and struggles with mental health. It delves into her reliance on structured belief systems, drawing connections to various influences such as Dale Carnegie, Suzuki violin training, Richard Simmons, and 12-step programs. Through her unique comedic lens, Bamford reflects on the absurdities and challenges of navigating life and creativity.
