[Unedited] Maira Kalman with Krista Tippett
To be in conversation with Maira Kalman is like wandering into one of her cartoons in The New Yorker. Millions have been prompted to smile and think by her illustrated revision of Strunk and White\u2019s \u201cElements of Style\u201d or a \u201cNew York Times\u201d blog or her lovely books and her drawings about dogs. Her words and pictures bring life\u2019s whimsy and quirkiness into relief right alongside its intrinsic seriousness, its most curious truths.\nMaira Kalman is the author and illustrator of over 20 books for adults and children. She is well known for her \u201cNew York Times\u201d blogs that have become books like \u201cAnd the Pursuit of Happiness\u201d and \u201cThe Principles of Uncertainty.\u201d\nThis interview is edited and produced with music and other features in the On Being episode \u201cMaira Kalman \u2014 Daily Things to Fall in Love With.\u201d Find more at onbeing.org.
