![]() ![]() Barry has called the work her “ autobiofictionalography.” The novella is structured as a series of seventeen illustrated vignettes. Testing the limits of the forms of the novella and comic book, One! Hundred! Demons received praise for its expansive conception of what constitutes a literary work in the twenty-first century. Mirroring this image, the work depicts Barry’s attempt to confront her own demons, from her most haunting anxieties about adulthood to her bad relationship memories. The title refers to a painting created by a monk, depicting one hundred demons running after each other along a wide scroll. A genre-defying work, it borrows the topics, imagery, and literary forms of genres ranging from sixteenth-century Zen art to comic strips, to the vignette, or brief impressionistic sketch, which first appeared in nineteenth-century French literature. One! Hundred! Demons! is a 2002 semi-autobiographical graphic novella by American author, teacher, and cartoonist Lynda Barry. ![]()
