Emily writes (see note below):
I have and am reading Disquiet, Please!: More Humor from The New Yorker, and I expect to post about it again. For now, won’t you join me in admiring this William Steig drawing on the cover? I think it’s glorious and deranged. Actually, it reminds me of a current New Yorker artist’s less well-known work: cartoonist Eric Lewis’s found-sculpture Garbage Flowers. If I were you, I’d gather some of the inexpensive flowers before they’re all sold (several already seem to be), add the humor anthology, and there’s the formula for your whole Christmas list.
This has been an uncompensated endorsement of unqualified enthusiasm from phantom publisher and fond founder Emily Gordon, whose evanescent presence you will see around here from time to time. In case you’re stopping by for the first time in a while, current editor Martin Schneider is the author of all unsigned posts, so he should get the compliments!
