Product Description An introduction to the work of a new artist not to be missed Characterized by an intriguing disjointed rhythm and delicious pencil-smudged style, The Bun Field is defined by a surreal ebb and flow, possessing a deep sense of foreboding and hurt, yet maintaining a biting sense of humor. Amanda Vähämäkis first graphic novel is infused with a sense of abbreviated adolescence and a kind of gray-sky banality. In this story, a young girl dreams of a dinosaur eating Donald Duck; wakes to find a bald, hulking stranger sharing her breakfast; leaves to take a car trip with a bear; falls and breaks a tooth, to have it replaced by an impatient dentistfrom his dogs mouth no less; and pays back the favor by plowing a field of buns. Young people and anthropomorphic animals commingle in dreamy landscapes, performing mundane tasks that are skewed with an absurd and fantastic edge. Vähämäkis unique ideas are equally matched by her tactile drawings, creating a palpable world that is fresh and compelling. The Bun Field has been published in several languages. About the Author Born in Finland in 1981, Amanda Vähämäki studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Italy. She is featured in Book Five of the acclaimed Drawn & Quarterly Showcase series for emerging cartoonists, as well as in several European anthologies.
