Diary Of Edward The Hamster 1990-1990

"In succinct diary entries set against stark white on black drawings, Edward, a depressive, philosophical hamster who makes Schopenhauer seem cheerful, rails against the emptiness of a life limited to his exercise wheel, seeds and water, and questions the very meaning of existence. “IS THERE NOTHING ELSE?!” he asks in despair. Even his diary fails to comfort him. “Why write?” he laments. “Life is a cage of empty words.” Love provides some solace, but it’s all too fleeting. This penetrating, endearing little book cracks open the cage of existential woe with humor and charm."
