A brilliant interpreter of the everyday, Roz Chast’s cartoons address a range of topics, including guilt, anxiety, aging, family life, money, and real estate. Over 1000 of her cartoons have been printed in The New Yorker; the magazine’s editor-in-chief David Remnick has called her “the magazine’s only certifiable genius.” In 2014 she published her award-winning memoir, Can’t We Talk About Something More Pleasant?
