Roz Chast

I paused this blog several years ago (9 wow!), because it didn't get any views.  I continued to keep my favorite pieces from books tucked away, however, and realized I was spending a lot of time digging to find my favorites.  So the blog is back.  More than anything, it's back because I enjoyed it.  Perhaps you will too.

I will reopen this blog with a favorite Roz Chast piece.  Due to poor organization over the past few years I forget which New Yorker this came from.  But like most Roz Chast pieces, I cherish the hell out of it.
