Book Description

“The Yellow Wall-Paper” is a short story that was written in the late 1800s by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, after she suffered a serious downturn with depression, upon taking a doctor’s advice to engage in the “rest cure” and abandon creative pursuits forever.

Now, more than a hundred years later, this image-rich work has been interpreted by artist Sara Barkat —in a manner that combines both philosophical thought and visual intrigue.

Sometimes understood as feminist literature, sometimes understood as exploring mental illness, and sometimes understood as both at the same time, this story is oddly poetic even when it is chilling and challenging.

The tale contains subtexts that touch upon the nature of Imagination, as well as the act of Writing, and the artist has enhanced these subtexts with the inclusion of Victorian flower symbols, such as thistle for independence and lupine for imagination.

Watch, too, for the appearance of some of history’s most imaginative art, refashioned and in dialog with the story at hand, which gives a sense of timelessness and broader societal import to the tale.

Humorous Companion Journal

The Yellow Wall-Paper Sanity Journal Front Cover 367 A witty, wise, and wonderful illustrated gift journal based on The Yellow Wall-Paper: A Graphic Novel. (Please note that while Amazon displays the journal interior in sepia, like its companion graphic novel, the journal comes in black & white.)

Funny, surprising, thoughtful, mischievous (and sometimes melodramatic) prompts throughout. Makes journaling more fun than perhaps it was meant to be.

Also includes poetry prompts and instructions for several form poems like the villanelle, pantoum, catalogue, and limerick (maybe the all-time best poetry forms to choose when you’re feeling stuck in your own four walls!).
