Just In: At Wit’s End: Cartoonists Of The New Yorker
Was very pleased to find this advance copy in the mail of At Wit’s End: Cartoonists Of The New Yorker (it’ll be out this November, from Clarkson-Potter).
Alen MacWeeney has photographed over 50 of the magazine’s artists, including such icons as Edward Koren, Jack Ziegler, George Price, and George Booth, as well as contemporary members of the magazine’s cartoonist community, including Liana Finck, Akeem Roberts, Ed Steed, Amy Hwang, Ellie Black, Ellis Rosen, Liza Donnelly, Bruce Eric Kaplan, Emily Flake, Roz Chast, Harry Bliss, Amy Kurzweil, and Barry Blitt (who you see there on the cover). I provided essays for each cartoonist.
The New Yorker‘s cartoon editor, Emma Allen wrote the Foreword.
.Bob Ciano designed this truly wonderful book.
