Join us on Thursday, September 15, at 7PM when we discuss David Michaelis's acclaimed biography of cartonnist Charles Schulz. Title: SHULZ AND PEANUTS.
Describing "the obvious-but-brilliant Chip Kidd-designed cover" and observing that "everyone, it seems, feels a personal connection to Peanuts", Michaelis's biography "parses Schulz's particular combination of Midwestern reserve and steely determination and the strip's still-surprising balance of exuberance and misery, reminding us what a colossal cultural force PEANUTS became, especially in the 1960s....recognizing that the true, sometimes inexplicable drama of Shulz's life took place when he sat down every day for 50 years to trace Linus's wobbly strands of hair, fill in Snoopy's black nose and, time and again, letter the words Good grief.
