Most famous in the English-speaking world for his instantly recognizable New Yorker covers, Jean-Jacques Sempé has delighted readers in France and beyond with his witty drawings and keen eye for the finer points of the human condition for over forty years. Now, these sharply observed and beautifully drawn cartoons are available in English for the first time. Many of Sempé's intricate and evocative illustrations are accompanied by laconic, perfectly judged captions, which were translated by Anthea Bell, who also translated the Asterix comics into English.
