Davis is one of the finest cartoonists of her generation, and has been producing comics since the mid-2000s. \u003cem\u003eHappy\u003c\/em\u003e represents the best stories she's drawn for such curatorial venues as \u003cem\u003eMome\u003c\/em\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNamed one of NPR's and \u003cem\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/em\u003e's Best Books of 2014.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eShortlist, \u003cem\u003eSlate\u003c\/em\u003e's 2014 Cartoonist Studio Prize for Best Print Comic of the Year\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e2015 Ignatz Award Winner: Outstanding Anthology or Collection\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eleanor Davis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1606997408\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781606997406\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fantagraphics Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/03\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.90h x 7.60w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2014 pg. 66\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly Best Books\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/03\/2014 pg. 35\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/10\/2014","brand":"Eleanor Davis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44133628543231,"sku":"9781606997406","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a19d3438-2193-4305-b858-899ccd47d324.jpg?v=1687487267","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/how-to-be-happy-eleanor-davis-9781606997406","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
