The Migraine Book, A Memoir in Pictures is a book of drawings that the artist Lea Carmichael has drawn over the past fifteen years while in the throes of many migraines. They are accompanied by writings that expand on the artwork. Varying in style and covering many different aspects of migraine, the drawings are horrifying, poignant, gruesome, emotional, and sometimes funny. They were drawn spontaneously, through, in reaction to, and in revenge against, her pain.
Migraineurs will find themselves in these drawings. Those who do not suffer from migraine will find the drawings an education. All will find them to be intriguing and entertaining.
