A cartoonist for The New Yorker, Roz Chast has had more than a thousand cartoons published. Her cartoons reflect domestic and family life, so many depict interior scenes that heavily feature lamps and wallpaper. Chast credits her mother as her main source of inspiration, and she channels that same source in her memoir. In Can’t We Talk About Something More Pleasant?, Chast writes about becoming her parents’ main caregiver. It’s both funny and tough. Chast will be at the Dallas Museum of Art’s Arts and Letters Live, where she will speak about her new book, which is a finalist for the 2014 National Book Award in nonfiction. Be there at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday at the DMA (1717 N. Harwood St.), with at least $15 in your pocket. Tickets available in advance for $15 to $35 at dma.org.
Wed., Jan. 28, 7:30 p.m., 2015
