Ah, la crise! #[nn]

Wolinski turns the economic anxieties of 1981 into sharp comedic art with *Ah, la crise!*, published by Albin Michel. The cover says it all: a big, grinning, shaggy figure clutches a laughing blonde woman, while a bespectacled, suit-clad man reads a gloomy newspaper, deadpanning "Il n'y pas de quoi rire, papa" — there's nothing to laugh about, dad. It's a perfectly timed collision of hedonism and hand-wringing that sets up a collection brimming with Wolinski's irreverent take on hard times.
