Book Signing: Ed Koren "Koren In The Wild"

Join New Yorker cartoonist Ed Koren for a signing of "Koren In The Wild," his new collection with a preface by Howard Norman and an appreciation by Ben Cohen, co-founder of Ben & Jerry’s. Koren illustrates country life, exurbanites and the ironies of living in the boonies. His cartoons have Vermonters looking at city folk, and city folk looking at Vermonters.

Koren’s humor, his humanoid, warm and fuzzy, puzzled and brave creatures, will delight the reader, country dweller or not. In this latest collection of cartoons on country life, drawn from his porch in Vermont, nothing is sacred: gas stations, vegetarians, parenting, animals, gourmands, country stores…all are examined with the unique perspective and creativity of this brilliant observer (and artist) of “the wild.”

Free and open to the public.
