The pages of the New Yorker are hallowed ground for
cartoonists, and for the last thirty years, Roz Chast has
helped set the magazine's cartooning standard, while
creating work that is unmistakably her own- characterized by
her shaggy lines, an ecstatic way with words, and her
characters' histrionic masks of urban and suburban anxiety,
bedragglement, and elation.
What I Hate is an A to Z of epic horrors and daily
unpleasantries, including but by no means limited to rabies,
abduction, tunnels, and the triple-layered terror of Jell-O
1-2-3. With never-before-published, full-page cartoons for
every letter, and supplemental text to make sure the proper
fear is instilled in every heart, Chast's alphabetical
compendium will resonate with anyone well-versed in the art
of avoidance- and make an instructive gift for anyone who
might be approaching life with unhealthy unconcern.
