I Am Blind and My Dog Is Dead

Finally back in print in its original form after 30 years Sam Gross's <i>I Am Blind and My Dog Is Dead</i>--perhaps his best known and most loved book--is being released in a lavish hardcover introducing a new generation of readers to his unforgettable and original brand of dark humor, little match girls, confused pets, bewildered children and blind men. <P>A long-time contributor to <i>The New Yorker</i>, Sam, a legendary pioneer of bad taste, has become one of America's best-loved cartoonists and inspired many to take up the art, including John Callahan. <P>His drawing style is relaxed and free, his use of gray washes is remarkable, his sense of composition, without a single extra element, is unmatched. Sam Gross is a master, and <i>I Am Blind and My Dog Is Dead</i> is him at his best. Whether it is already an old favorite or a new discovery, this book will delight readers and have them laughing for a long time to come.
