 |  Why do we stop drawing? And why do we start? These are two of the questions explored in Lynda Barry’s new book, Picture This: The Near-sighted Monkey Book, a companion to her recent best-selling book about writing, What It Is. Artist Maira Kalman’s new book, And the Pursuit of Happiness, is based on her New York Times blog of the same name. Tonight, the two will show slides of their work, compare notes and talk about their experiences as creators in many genres. |  |
