She begins with her childhood in a largely Jewish suburb on Long Island, raised by highly dysfunctional, neglectful/abusive parents, then charts her escape into post-college artistic bohemia in the Southwestern desert, then to life in the Bay Area underground comix scene of the late '60s and '70s. Taken together, the stories in Love That Bunch provide a compact, thematically rich autobiography, touching on every important aspect of Kominsky-Crumb's existence: family, sexual obsessions, food, motherhood, art, and various philisophical musings. The new edition features even more vintage comics than the original, plus significant recent work such as the thirty-page "Dream House".
And this deluxe hardcover reissue of the original 1990 paperback Love That Bunch is a very welcome return indeed. Aline Kominsky-Crumb, the self-described Yoko Ono of comics-aka "Yoko Buncho"-is back.
