Since 1978, when her very first cartoon appeared in The New Yorker Magazine, Roz Chast has been chronicling modern life\u2019s anxieties and absurdities.\xa0Neurotic characters with frizzy hair and mouths agape sit on sofas or walk along New York sidewalks worrying, observing, and making us laugh. Her more than a dozen books include Can\u2019t We Talk about Something More Pleasant?, a memoir about her parents aging, and a collaboration with Steve Martin called The Alphabet from A to Y with Bonus Letter Z!.\xa0 On November 2, 2023\xa0 Chast came to The Sydney Goldstein Theater in San Francisco to share stories from her newest book, I Must Be Dreaming.
