Roz Chast is an award-winning cartoonist who started working for the New Yorker 45 years ago. Her comics examine our everyday neuroses and anxieties. As an only child growing up in Brooklyn, Chast worried that a fire could break out in the wall and burn up her family. Or that she\\u2019d suddenly have an appendicitis attack and wind up in the hospital like Madeleine in that children\\u2019s story. Chast hates to drive and is terrified of changing lanes. Now, she\\u2019s written a book called\\xa0I Must be Dreaming\\xa0about her nightmares and all the wacky things that go on in our heads while we\\u2019re asleep. \\u201cNow What?\\u201d is produced with the help of Steve Zimmer, Lucy Little and Patrick McAndrew. Audio production is by Nick Ciavatta.
