At Wit's End: Cartoonists of The New Yorker #[nn]

A beautifully conceived tribute to the people behind one of America's most beloved cartoon traditions, *At Wit's End* pairs Alen MacWeeney's intimate black-and-white photographs with words by Michael Maslin to put faces to the wit. The cover alone sets the mood perfectly — a bearded, bespectacled man in a dark coat holds a wind-battered umbrella against a backdrop of bare winter trees, the image radiating the kind of gentle, deadpan humor that defines *New Yorker* cartooning. Published by Penguin Random House in 2024, this is a warm and thoughtful look at the artists who have spent careers finding the funny in everyday life.
