Politics & Prose at Busboys and Poets, 14th & V, presents Maira Kalman to discuss her new book Beloved Dog.
Kalman’s distinctive artwork has graced untold numbers of The New Yorker and she’s illustrated books ranging from Strunk and White’s The Elements of Style to Michael Pollan’s Food Rules. Her own books are favorites of both young and adult readers and include Smartypants and The Principles of Uncertainty. Now she goes to the dogs for inspiration, and her witty, colorful drawings convey both fictional canines and real-life pets in all their wide-eyed, long-tongued, and wet-nosed glory.
Kalman will be in conversation with Jane Mayer, a staff writer for The New Yorker and an inveterate dog lover.
