Woven in and around the larger pieces are \"dream comics\" that expand on the same themes with a baffling unconscious logic. Every inch of \u003ci\u003eMy Brain Is Hanging Upside Down\u003c\/i\u003e is filled with visceral art and emotionally resonant storytelling at once stunning, truthful, and uncomfortably hilarious.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Pantheon","offers":[{"title":"My Brain Is Hanging Upside Down | David Heatley | Hardcover | 9780375425394 | Used: Good | Back Stacks J 1744515","offer_id":48209990353048,"sku":"1744515","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/91ihcmMT_5L.jpg?v=1772849007","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/my-brain-is-hanging-upside-down","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
