Secret Language is about the indestructible spirit that compels people to search out meaning and to give it a shape, even when their lives seem reduced to a tedious or desperate struggle for survival. In libraries and parking lots, memories and dreams, it shows people tunneling through the hard surface of daily reality to find unexpected layers of mystery and possibility.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A brilliant graphic novel, part Spiegleman, part Gorey,
By A Customer
This review is from: Secret Language (Hardcover)
Ms. Barker's landscapes are eerie and dark, reminiscent of Poe. They describe the alienation of the human condition with poetry and beautiful illustrations
5.0 out of 5 stars
haunting and lyrical,

This review is from: Secret Language (Hardcover)
Poe and Gorey fans should take a look at this. Molly Barker's work is lighter and less ornate than Poe's prose, and less comic and more contemplative and fluid than Gorey's work. The loose and evocative line of her etchings and the tensed flow of her prose create a most atmospheric and poetic narrative.
Barker's work has been released in only 2 ways: (1) in limited-edition fine art books of bound prints, for the art collector's market, and (2) through City Lights, a small press in California, for the general reader. Her work has had less attention than it deserves due to its limited distribution.
