What The Reviewers Say
... in a sense, Profusely Illustrated is really an easygoing history of the left at a particular moment, with Sorel moving like a haimish Forrest Gump through print media New York.
... irresistible.
Throughout, the author examines the many ways in which politics has influenced his work, propelling him to astutely express his perspectives through brilliant (and often scathing) works of pen-and-ink art. He also weaves in engaging discussions of his sharp-witted, biting commentary on a succession of more controversial, 'unconstitutional' American presidents, from Nixon to Trump.
