** BOOK OF THE WEEK:
------------------------------------------------------------

** The Mad Files
------------------------------------------------------------

** Edited by David Mikics
------------------------------------------------------------

Why do we love it?

Snappy, subversive, and full of furshlugginer fun, The Mad Files is a deliriously nostalgic romp through the irreverent world of MAD magazine. With reflections by the Usual Gang of Idiots and fans like Liel Leibovitz, Art Spiegelman, Leah Garrett, and Adam Gopnik, it uncovers the Jewish voices behind a cultural phenomenon that shaped postwar America. We love it for capturing how MAD’s gleeful anarchy made us wisecrack our way into cultural literacy. As David Mikics writes, it didn’t just skewer society - it taught us to laugh at everything, especially ourselves. Pure satire, no apologies.
