Saul Steinberg’s All in Line is out today! Featuring an introduction by @lianafinck and an afterword by Iain Topliss, this is a new edition of one of the legendary New Yorker cartoonist’s earliest collections of drawings, originally published in 1945, only a few years after Steinberg arrived in the U.S. after fleeing from the fascist government in his native Romania. The book captures both Steinberg’s initial impressions of his new home country and his wartime impressions while serving in the U.S. Naval Reserve in China, India, North Africa, and Italy. Fanciful delight and grim reality sit side-by-side in this volume, a lively record of Steinberg finding his way (and his line) as an artist in America.
