"Gehr's knowledge of the history and culture of the magazine, and his incisive, revealing interviews, make for great reading. When Roz Chast, George Booth, Ed Koren, and all the rest read this book, I think they will be delighted--as will you."--Matt Groening. "Widely considered to be the pantheon of single-panel cartooning, The New Yorker cartoonists' styles are richly varied, and their personal stories are surprising. For example, did you know that Arnie Levin is a 73-year-old former Beatnik painter with a handlebar mustache and a back decorated by Japan's foremost tattoo artists? Gehr's book features fascinating biographical profiles of such artists as Gahan Wilson, Sam Gross, Roz Chast, Lee Lorenz, Victoria Roberts and Robert Mankoff. Along with a dozen such profiles, Gehr provides a brief history of The New Yorker cartoon itself, touching on the lives and work of earlier illustrating wits, including Charles Addams, James Thurber, and William Steig." [publisher copy] "If you think you are funny and could do what New Yorker cartoonists do, you are wrong. To get a glimpse into the lives and working habits of these artists is a great gift. They are a rarified breed living in places like Connecticut and Westchester. They blend into the background, but they are the great philosophers of our time. Don't try this at home."--Maira Kalman. "There's no purer distillation of a sense of humor than the single-panel gag cartoon, and most of the good ones appear in The New Yorker. This book profiles twelve of the magazine's cartoonists, who prove to be as funny, odd, and sometimes enigmatic as their artifacts. Whether you are stranded on a desert island, free-associating on a psychiatrist's couch, sitting on a park bench hearing out a winsome wino, or trying to stop the Grim Reaper from getting a foot in the door, this book will help you see the humor in your situation. It'll also help you understand the arcane process by which life is converted into laffs."--Christopher Miller. Pristine hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square, tight binding, & a bright, attractive jacket. Nº de ref. del artículo: RUB1870
