Since 1976, Pekar (b. 1939) has reported his life through his comics - dealing with everything from his time as a Veterans Administration clerk and freelance music critic to his friends and co-workers, and from his struggles with physical and mental health problems to marriage and Hollywood movies."Harvey Pekar: Conversations" brings together almost twenty-five years of interviews with Pekar from a number of sources, presenting an intimate and revealing portrait of a man who has laid his whole life out for the world to see.
