An advance copy of Ken Krimstein’s Einstein In Kafkaland just arrived in the mail (it will be out this August, published by Bloomsbury).
Mr. Krimstein, who began contributing his cartoons to The New Yorker in 2000, also authored the well-received titles, When I Grow Up: The Lost Autobiographies Of Six Yiddish Teenagers (2021), and The Three Escapes Of Hannah Arendt (2018).
A collection of his cartoons, Kvetch As Kvetch Can: Jewish Cartoons was published in 2010.
Link here to Mr. Krimstein’s website.

At Wit’s End: Cartoonists Of The New Yorker (Clarkson Potter), a book of photographs and essays covering 52 New Yorker artists, has been in progress for six years.
Looking forward to seeing it on bookshelves in November.
That’s Barry Blitt on the cover, holding onto a battered umbrella.
