Theories of Everything: Selected, Collected, and Health-Inspected Cartoons, 1978-2006

by Roz Chast, David Remnick (Introduction)

Overview

A rich collection of three decades of Roz Chast's most beloved cartoons.

"Where would we be without Roz Chast? Chast's magnificent career-spanning collection highlights her position as master of the deep interior, of the obsessions, the baseless fears and the weird proverbs to which we cling in our desperation not to leave the house."- Susan Salter Reynolds, Los Angeles Times

This wonderfully comprehensive collection spanning nearly three decades and arranged chronologically-and drawn from the pages of magazines including Scientific American and Redbook as well as The New Yorker-brings together, for the first time, the very best of Roz Chast, whom O Magazine called "the wryest pen since Dorothy Parker's."
