Description
Readers can't get enough of Roz Chast. Now the classic collectionThe Party, After You Left is back in print. Together, these cartoons, which originally appeared inThe New Yorker,Scientific American,Redbook, and other publications, constitute a spot-on record of our increasingly absurd existence. The book is a powerful reminder of how lucky we are to have Roz Chast among us to tackle some of the toughest themes of the times with uproarious humor: genetically altered mice, birthday parties show more from hell, and comfort drinks in the age of insecurity. show lessTags
