Françoise Mouly takes us behind the scenes at the New
Yorker and reveals how the magazine creates its
signature covers commenting on the most urgent political and
cultural events of the day. She shows the shocking and
hilarious sketches that didn’t make the cut and explains how
these are essential stages in the evolution of a cover that
stands the test of time but retains its edge. Her book
captures contemporary history—from the farce of Monica
Lewinsky to the adventures of Michelle and Barack to nuclear
meltdown in Japan—in images that are as acute as they are
outrageous. More than that, it shows how the magazine that
exemplifies journalistic excellence in America also dares to
cultivate a sense of humor when grappling with complex moral
and political issues.
