Synopsis

In this highly entertaining book, internationally acclaimed cartoonist and journalist Anthony Haden-Guest offers a one-of-a-kind collection of cartoons that present darkly humorous commentary on art, celebrity, and the way we live today. With the same piercing humor that has made him one of the top contributors to the world’s leading publications and television shows, Haden-Guest presents dozens of amusing parodies targeting the business world, media and journalism, and what people say versus what they really mean. The Chronicles of Now features dozens of comical cartoons and drawings covering such topics as "Modern Manners," "Postmodern Excuses," "The Class War of Words," and "e-Answered Prayers." This hilarious parody of today’s times also includes the author’s blueprint for an "End-of the-World-as-We Know-It" game.
