Cecilia Ruiz Boeken

Praise for The Book of Extraordinary Deaths: Ruiz's sinister selections and quirky technique add up to a delightfully morbid foray into history. -Publishers Weekly This slender, magnificent book is about the central tragedy of human existence, the dreadful final reckoning to which all flesh is heir. It's an absolute hoot. -Gene Weingarten, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and columnist Praise for Cecilia Ruiz's The Book of Memory Gaps: Cecilia Ruiz offers a darkly humorous but warmhearted account of various memory errors and disorders....The illustrations-lovely and quirky-manage to both depict a snapshot in time while also conveying memory's ephemeral, transient nature.-Bruce Poulsen Ph.D., PsychologyToday.com Read[s] like Edward Gorey's The Gashlycrumb Tinies if it were written by Dr. Oliver Sacks....a quaint, beautifully designed little book with wonderful art.-MentalFloss.com
