nA wildly original, whimsical, humorous exploration of the human condition told through a worms eye view; a masterful pairing of the authors artwork and ironic text in more than 250 illustrated pages. nThis innovative, ironic, and metaphoric exploration of the life of worms is a stunning showcase of Noemi Volas impressive and versatile talents as both an illustrator and a writer. Her funny, clever illustrations are paired with pithy, ironic text that conveys all you ever needed (and perhaps never needed) to know about worms. n n Beginning with factual material about worms in general, from eating habits to underground habitats to its varying shades of pink, there is much to discover about worms. The narrative then follows one worm in particular through a tragic loss of its better half (also known as the worms tail), becoming a metaphor for all who have loved and lost. The humor of both illustrations and text are paired beautifully, introducing a distinctive new artist with honed literary sensibility to the American audience. Volas pink-edged bible of worms n nn
