New Yorker Cartoonist Liza Donnelly joins us to tell us about her new book, "Very Funny Ladies: The New Yorker's Women Cartoonists" (Prometheus) and the online event she will be having tomorrow night through Oblong Books at 7PM. Donnelly offers a unique slant on 20th-century and early 21st-century America through the humorous perspectives of the talented women of The New Yorker. Donnelly will be joined by fellow "very funny ladies" Roz Chast, Kim Warp, and Kendra Allenby - all talented women cartoonists who have successfully captured in pictures and captions many of the key social issues of their time.

To Julie Metz, her mother, Eve, was the quintessential New Yorker. Eve rarely spoke about her childhood and it was difficult to imagine her living anywhere else except Manhattan, where she could be found attending Carnegie Hall and the Metropolitan Opera or inspecting a round of French triple crème at Zabar’s.After her mother passed, Julie discovered a keepsake book filled with farewell notes from friends and relatives addressed to a ten-year-old girl named Eva. This long-hidden memento was the first clue to the secret pain that Julie’s mother had carried as a refugee and immigrant from Nazi-occupied Vienna.
