{"product_id":"9781606997406","title":"How To Be Happy","description":"This is the first collection of literary short comics stories by an award-winning cartoonist.Eleanor Davis’sHow to be Happy is the artist’s first collection of graphic\/literary short stories. Davis is one of the finest cartoonists of her generation, and has been producing comics since the mid-2000s. Happy represents the best stories she’s drawn for such curatorial venues as Mome and No-Brow, as well as her own self-publishing and web efforts. Davis achieves a rare, subtle poignancy in her narratives that are at once compelling and elusive, pregnant with mystery and a deeply satisfying emotional resonance. Happy shows the full range of Davis’s graphic skills — sketchy drawing, polished pen and ink line work, and meticulously designed full color painted panels— which are always in the service of a narrative that builds to a quietly devastating climax.Named one of NPR's and Publishers Weekly's Best Books of 2014.Shortlist, Slate's 2014 Cartoonist Studio Prize for Best Print Comic of the Year2015 Ignatz Award Winner: Outstanding Anthology or Collection","brand":"Fantagraphics Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47056217637104,"sku":"9781606997406","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781606997406_p0.jpg?v=1763831405","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781606997406","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
