From the inner flap of the dust wrapper: "The Art of Living (in the wrong century) says Saul Steinberg, really means the Art of Surviving in the struggle between men and contraptions. Here, in some 300 of his unique drawings, the famed artist and cartoonist presents his superbly funny and pleasantly disturbing view of life today in the United States.".
