Roz Chast

In conversation with Daniel Handler

Wednesday, November 28, 2007  |  Herbst Theatre, 8pm

Roz Chast's sardonic pen-and-ink drawings have run in The New Yorker since 1978, when, at the age of 23, she became the youngest of the magazine's few regular cartoonists. Chast finds humor in the idiosyncrasies of daily life, often using visual puns and wordplay. Her instantly recognizable drawings are full of minute details, average-looking people, and titles instead of captions, like "Non-Caloric Episode," "Rudeness Galore," and "The Berlitz Guide to Parent-Teacher Conferences." Over 600 Chast cartoons have been published in The New Yorker and her editorial illustrations have also appeared in Ms., Opera News, Fortune, Vogue, GQ, and numerous other publications. She frequently illustrates books, most recently collaborating with Steve Martin on The Alphabet from A to Y With Bonus Letter Z! Theories of Everything: Selected, Collected, Health-Inspected Cartoons, 1978-2006 is the long-awaited complete works of Roz Chast.
