Résumé

Cet album rassemble toutes les couvertures réalisées pour The New Yorker depuis 1978. Il propose également un entretien au cours duquel Sempé évoque les dessinateurs américains qu'il y a côtoyés, tel Saul Steinberg, mais également son goût pour le jazz et sa fascination pour New York.

Quatrième de couverture

From the time he was a teenager in Bordeaux, Sempe's dream had been to join the family of cartoonists at The New Yorker, the prestigious American magazine whose spirit he admired.. That dream came true in 1978, when he started going to New York regularly to work with a staff that gave him total freedom. . Over the years, Sempé has done 109 cover illustrations, and as many inside cartoons... a number that is unprecedented in the magazine's history, and is all the more surprising in that he is French. . These New York pictures, including many that have never been published in France before, have been gathered together for the first time, and are accompanied by a conversation with Marc Lecarpentier. They express the joy of living in a unique city, with its carefree cats and tiny humans, its hustle and bustle, its cloudy skies, its towering buildings, its jazz musicians and its secret gardens. .
