Highs and Lows

Combining simple lines with a distinctly droll worldview, the cartoons of Jean-Jacques Sempé have charmed readers in France and beyond for more than 40 years. In Highs and Lows, his sixth collection of illustrations and cartoons - available now for the first time with English captions - Sempé catalogs his visual musings on the contradictions, and the outright absurdities, that make life as baffling as it is joyful.
