Shortly before her thirtieth birthday, Forney was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Suffering from (but enjoying) extreme mania, and terrified that medication would cause her to lose creativity, she began a long struggle over many years to find mental stability while retaining her creativity. Searching to make sense of the popular idea of the 'crazy artist', she finds inspiration from the lives and work of other artists and writers who suffered from mood disorders, including Vincent van Gogh, Georgia O'Keeffe, William Styron, and Sylvia Plath. She also researches the clinical aspects of bipolar disorder, including the strengths and limitations of various treatments and medications, and what studies tell us about the conundrum of attempting to "cure" an otherwise brilliant mind. Darkly funny and intensely personal, Forney's memoir provides a humorous but authentic glimpse into the effects of a mood disorder on an artist's work, as she shares her own story through black-and-white graphic images and prose. - E-bokEngelska, 2013

Ellen Forney's follow-up to her wildly successful I Love Led Zeppelin is a collection of cartoons celebrating the pervy and sometimes sweet online world of personal classified ads. Forney has, for several years, been illustrating the Seattle alt-weekly The Stranger's Lustlab' classified ads by choosing especially kinky ads and illustrating them in a variety of styles - bold and graphic, fine and detailed, cartoony or elegant, depending on the tone. In addition, Forney interviews six enthusiastic Lustlab subscribers. With an intro by Stranger editor Dan Savage.'
