Recenzii

Ms. Chast... [has] transformed her hypochondriacal dyspepsia into cartoons that not only chronicle her own fears, worries and anxieties but that also show us how we live today.
Chast is arguably the greatest living practitioner of a minor art, that of the magazine cartoon.
Her standout cartoons for The New Yorker and other publications find the odd truths just beneath the surface of the everyday.
The complete works of this delightfully off-kilter New Yorker cartoonist will dispel any blues.
It's a big, fat, wonderful book.
At long last a maximum-strength dose of the New Yorker magazine's genius of the weirdities and absurdities of modern life.
