Author Talk: Roz Chast & Jason Adam Katzenstein — The Two Saddest Kitchens: A Comics Conversation
Roz Chast & Jason Adam Katzenstein
Watch authors Roz Chast & Jason Adam Katzenstein discuss "The Two Saddest Kitchens" at Politics and Prose bookstore in Washington, D.C. #1 New York Times bestselling, award-winning author Roz Chast teams up with her fellow New Yorker cartoonist Jason Adam Katzenstein to rip the Tupperware lid off what's really going on in their kitchens. The kitchen is the “heart of the home,” or at least it's supposed to be. But wait! What's that lurking under the sink? Behind the cabinets? In the back of the refrigerator?! When celebrated New Yorker cartoonists Roz Chast and Jason Adam Katzenstein confessed to each other that their kitchens were far from Martha Stewart perfect, they knew they couldn't be the only ones cracking under the pressure of their pressure cookers. In The Two Saddest Kitchens, Roz and Jason combine their hilarious cartoon sensibilities to take (chicken) stock of everything from tragic pantries to the secret double life of Mr. Clean. Let Roz and Jason guide you through their divine kitchen comedy as they ponder the fancy utensils that will never be used, the recipes that will never be followed, and the dream kitchens that exist only on the astral plane, which is maybe for the best. Roz Chast’s cartoons began appearing in the New Yorker in 1978, where she has since published more than one thousand. She is the author of the graphic memoirs Can We Talk About Something More Pleasant?, a #1 New York Times bestseller (100+ weeks), a National Book Critics Circle Award and Kirkus Prize winner and finalist for the National Book Award; National Bestseller I Must Be Dreaming; Going Into Town (Winner of the New York City Book Award); What I Hate: From A to Z; and her cartoon collections The Party, After You Left and Theories of Everything, among others. She was awarded the Harvey Hall of Fame Award. She lives in Connecticut and New York. Jason Adam Katzenstein is a cartoonist and comedy writer whose work has appeared in The New Yorker, The New York Times and MAD Magazine. He is the author and illustrator of the graphic memoir Everything Is an Emergency.
