Late Word On Two Events With Ken Krimstein

My apologies for this late word, but here are two Zoom events with Ken Krimstein coming up today, one in just an hour.

Mr. Krimstein, who began contributing his cartoons to The New Yorker in 2000, is the author of the highly praised When I Grow Up: The Lost Autobiographies Of Six Yiddish Teens.

Here are the two events, with the first happening soonest...at 2pm today:

From The Museum Of Jewish Heritage, “Drawing It Out: Graphic Novels, Teenagers, And the Holocaust” 

and tonight at 7, as part of the JCCNS Jewish Book Month Speaker Series: “JBM Extra Chapter With Ken Krimstein” 

 

Both of these Zoom events are free. Please register ahead of time.

Mr. Steig’s Spill A-Z entry:

William Steig (photo above) Born in Brooklyn, NY, Nov. 14, 1907, died in Boston, Mass., Oct. 3, 2003. In a New Yorker career that lasted well over half a century and a publishing history that contains more than a cart load of books, both children’s and otherwise, it’s impossible to sum up Steig’s influence here on Ink Spill. He was among the giants of the New Yorker cartoon world, along with James Thurber, Saul Steinberg, Charles Addams, Helen Hokinson and Peter Arno. Lee Lorenz’s World of William Steig (Artisan, 1998) is an excellent way to begin exploring Steig’s life and work. New Yorker work: 1930 -2003.
