| Zusammenfassung: | How to Make a Monster is Casanova Frankenstein's unflinching memoir of growing up as a Black INTJ (introverted, intuitive, thinking, and judging) 13-year-old in 1980. Conveyed as a bleak first-person narrative with darkly humorous overtones, Casanova Frankenstein reveals how real life experience shaped his hard-bitten, survivalist view of life. His was a world of fear and isolation punctuated by bullying thugs, the stifling atmosphere of the Lutheran school on the South Side of Chicago, racial segregation, unapproachable girls, and a home life consisting of an emotionally distant and unsupportive mother and an violent, alcoholic cop father who was not above giving his son a good thrashing now and again while preaching Christian family values. It is a searing portrait of an unbearably painful upbringing |

It is a searing portrait of an unbearably painful upbringing. How to Make a Monster is illustrated by Australian outsider artist Glenn Pearce in an historically rare creative symbiosis in which Pearce captures Frankenstein's inner turmoil using a variety of stunningly realized artistic approaches from naturalistic portraiture to outrageously inventive phantasmagoric imagery, a seamlessly contrapuntal balancing act between Frankenstein's raw, unadorned writing and Pearce's perfectly realized drawing."-- Provided by publisher |
