Pen and ink and watercolor, 16 x 12 in.
Though she’s never heard of me or of my collection on women in the American wilderness, no one but Roz Chast could better capture the agonies and joys of foraging through book stores far and wide for un- and under-appreciated narratives of women who set out into the wilds of the Americas with guts and a dream and, if really lucky, a knife and a fork. It felt like Kismet flipping through the New Yorker that day.
