Beloved New Yorker cartoonist Roz Chast is back with her first collection in years. Color and b&w throughout. The Party After You Left brings together the last nine years of cartoons from Roz Chast. Together these drawings which originally appeared in the New Yorker Scientific American Redbook and other publications constitute a spot-on record of our increasingly absurd existence. As the twenty-first century begins we can only be grateful that Roz Chast is here to tackle some of the tough themes of the times: genetically altered mice birthday parties from hell and comfort drinks in the age of insecurity.
