In hallucinatory color or elegant black-and-white, she brings us into lands that are strange but oddly recognizable, filled with murderous grandmothers and lonely city dwellers, bad-tempered vegetables and walls that are surprisingly easy to fall through. In the title story, written with Edith Zha, a new houseplant becomes the first step in an epic journey of self-discovery and a witty fable of modern romance—complete with talking shrubbery, a wised-up genie, and one very depressed bird.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis selection, designed and introduced by Daniel Clowes, presents the full achievement of an unforgettable, unjustly neglected master of French comics.","brand":"Claveloux, Nicole","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52337346904338,"sku":"9781681376684","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/9238\/5846\/files\/17555903482786.jpg?v=1780441637","url":"https:\/\/hbswarehousesale.com\/products\/green-hand-and-other-stories-paperback","provider":"Harvard Book Store Warehouse Sale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
