AEIOU: Any Easy Intimacy back

AEIOU, or Any Easy Intimacy, is another book about a girl, the start of the relationship, jealousy issues, sex and need. It follows the same sort of path that we've seen in CLUMSY and UNLIKELY (more the latter really) but it's more disjointed. With this one you really have to fill in the gaps between panels, between scenes. It feels as if it was a book twice the size and, for whatever reason, Brown has chopped it down. This initially came out as a limited edition last year. Each copy had original art representing one of the interior panels (390 panels, 390 copies) and you'd get a tiny segment from what might be a love letter. Like the other books you kinda feel that maybe you shouldn't be reading it, it's too private.

"The reason for the short print run was conceptual... the book is really about intimacy and then parallels the relationship itself, and the relationship with the reader mirrors that intimacy, in that the same way I didn't get all the information from the girl that I should've during the relationship, the reader doesn't get all the information. The hand-drawn covers and inserted pieces of notes and things adds to the idea, so each copy is one of a kind... something like that."
