Over 1,000 of Roz Chast’s cartoons have been printed in The New Yorker since 1978; editor David Remnick has hailed her as “the magazine’s only certifiable genius,” and O Magazine has said she has the “wryest pen since Dorothy Parker’s.” Chast will talk about her creative process and her latest book, Can’t We Talk About Something More Pleasant?, a touching and funny illustrated memoir of her time as her ailing parents’ primary caregiver. It is a finalist for the 2014 National Book Award in nonfiction.
Auditorium tickets are sold out for this event; however, a live video-simulcast of the event as it is happening inside Horchow Auditorium will be made available in the adjacent C3 Theater. Simulcast ticket holders will be able to submit questions for the Q&A by notecard and will still get to meet the author during the book signing after the event.
On the night of the event, you may have the opportunity to purchase an upgraded ticket to Horchow Auditorium. If you are interested, please visit the Will Call table starting at 6:00 p.m. on the night of the event.
