Library of America - MAD publication and presentation

LIBRARY OF AMERICA announcements:
The MAD Files: Writers and Cartoonists on the Magazine that Warped America’s Brain!
Edited by David Mikics
The MAD Files celebrates the iconic magazine and its creators, the self-styled Usual Gang of Idiots who developed puerile punchlines and merciless mockery into an art form.
Twenty-six essays and comics present a varied, perceptive, and very funny assessment of MAD’s significance. Art Spiegelman, Roz Chast, and Chris Ware recall what MAD meant to them as children; David Hajdu and Grady Hendrix zero in on MAD’s hilarious spoofs; Liel Leibovitz delves into the Jewishness behind the magazine’s humor; and Rachel Shteir amplifies the unsung genius of MAD’s women artists.
For die-hard fans and newcomers alike, The MAD Files is an irresistible, indispensable guide to America’s greatest satire magazine.
