Book Reviews of Theories of Everything: Selected, Collected, and Health-Inspected Cartoons, 1978-2006
Book Review: Great Overview of Roz Chast's Work
Summary: 5 Stars
Chast has watched you. She has watched me, and she has watched all of us. Her cartoons show all the markings of a seasoned and lifelong people-watcher, brandishing everyday habits and activities like a weapon of sublime observational wit, and repeatedly attacking you with it. Containing everything from thought-provoking slice of life, to supreme dry wit, to laugh-out-loud funny, Theories of Everything draws the shining moments from Chast's prolific career and puts them on display.
Like an encyclopedia that has been combined with both a family photo album and book of jokes, you can open this Chast compilation randomly to any page and find something that you recognize, something that you never before realized or knew, and something that will make you crack a smile and let out a chuckle. Theories of Everything exhibits exactly why Roz Chast is so respected, she can deliver humorous revelations about ourselves, that no one seems to notice despite the fact that they are right there in our everyday lives, and she does so with a subtlety that shows the mark of a disciplined comedian.
