VOL 1: ALWAYS A LITTLE IN LOVE
Always a Little in Love, finds Cate closing in on her mid-thirties, realizing that her fantasies of imminent love, success and creative fulfillment are most likely going to remain fantasies, as life continues to pass her by. Not a good feeling.
VOL 2: AFTER THAT IT’S ONLY FUN AND WINNING
After That It's Only Fun and Winning, is perhaps the most violently bleak book of the series. Utter defeat. Enjoy!
VOL 3: DREAM OF THE WHITE BANDIT
Dream of the White Bandit, focuses on the particular torments of hopeless romance, sexual frustration and spiritual constriction. For some people, love is hell. You know who you are.
VOL 4: THE MEAT QUESTION
In The Meat Question, Cate begins to find a new freedom from the torments of the self (as depicted in the first three volumes) by engaging with the material world of the body, other people, and the act of drawing itself.
VOL 5: NEW SICKNESSES
In New Sicknesses, expect to find more trials, tribulations, confabulations, celebrations, creative and destructive inclinations and too much informations.
VOL 6: FASHION OR CONFUSION
In Fashion or Confusion, the downward spiral continues. But maybe with a little less certainty. Which is good when you are certain that you're doomed. Confused? Stick around!
VOL 7: SLAVE TO THE IMAGE, MASTER OF THE REAL
In Slave to the Image, Master of the Real, Cate continues to document her contradictory life, moods and ideas, with all the angst, humor, poignancy and intellectual rigor of a non-believer looking for something to believe in.
VOL 8: DIAGNOSIS
By Diagnosis, Cate is starting to find some answers to the big questions. Such as WTF is the problem? Why do things feel so amiss? Where is the body? Where is the mind? Where is the heart? Where is the soul? What exactly is wrong with this world?
VOL 9: BREAKTHROUGH PAINTING
In Breakthrough Painting, Cate seems to be laying off the solipsism. Instead of her own self, this book revolves around the subject of ART—hers. But theirs too. Art history, that is.
VOL 10: LIFE IN GENERAL
Life in General, marks the end of THE BOOK OF LIFE series. Is there redemption? Is there closure? You will have to look inside to find out.
