Her comics are densely inked and detailed with a pulsating neurosis from a decidedly female point of view that set the comic-book world on its head when the series debuted. Doucet returns to comics after a five-year hiatus with a reworked edition of her dream journal \u003ci\u003eMy Most Secret Desire\u003c\/i\u003e, complete with never-before-published material.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMy Most Secret Desire\u003c\/i\u003e is considered to be Doucet 's most innovative work, exploring the longings, pressures, and exploits of the feminine subconscious. Nightmarish tales of pregnancy, menstruation, sex changes, and boyfriends haunt Doucet's nocturnal psyche with a feverish and surreal pitch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJulie Doucet\u003c\/b\u003e was born near Montreal in 1965 and is best known for her frank, funny, and sometimes shocking comic book series Dirty Plotte, which changed the landscape of alternative cartooning. In the 1990s, Doucet moved between New York, Seattle, Berlin, and Montreal, publishing the graphic novels \u003ci\u003eMy New York Diary\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLift Your Leg, My Fish is Dead!\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMy Most Secret Desire\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Madame Paul Affair\u003c\/i\u003e. In 2000, she quit comics to concentrate on other art forms. From these experiments emerged the collection of engravings and prints \u003ci\u003eLong Time Relationship\u003c\/i\u003e; her one-year visual journal, \u003ci\u003e365 Days\u003c\/i\u003e; and sassy collages from fumetto comics, \u003ci\u003eCarpet Sweeper Tales\u003c\/i\u003e. Her post-comics artwork includes silkscreened artist's books, text-based collages, sculpture, and animation films. She published her most recent book, \u003ci\u003eTime Zone J \u003c\/i\u003ein 2022 and was the first woman cartoonist from Quebec to win the Grand Prix d’Angoulême that same year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                    \n                \n            \u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Best Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":46959937945761,"sku":"BBSNIJ9781896597959","price":24.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/2084\/5473\/files\/9781896597959.jpg?v=1788337472","url":"https:\/\/www.bestbookstore.ca\/products\/my-most-secret-desire-hardcover-by-julie-doucet","provider":"Best Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
