Harvard Book Store welcomes longtime New Yorker cartoonist and award-winning author ROZ CHAST for a discussion of her latest book I Must Be Dreaming.

Ticketing

Please Note: Tickets to this event are sold out. There is no waitlist for this event. People interested in waiting in a stand-by line at the door for this sold-out event are welcome to. If any seats are still open five minutes before the event begins, we will turn them over to those in the stand-by line and have them purchase book-included tickets on a first-come, first-served basis. Of course we can’t guarantee that those in the stand-by line will get in, but we are often able to let in some of those patiently waiting.

Tickets include admission for one and one hardcover copy of I Must Be Dreaming signed by the author.

About I Must Be Dreaming

Ancient Greeks, modern seers, Freud, Jung, neurologists, poets, artists, shamans-humanity has never ceased trying to decipher one of the strangest unexplained phenomena we all experience: dreaming. Now, in her new book, Roz Chast illustrates her own dream world, a place that is sometimes creepy but always hilarious, accompanied by an illustrated tour through “Dream-Theory Land” guided by insights from poets, philosophers, and psychoanalysts alike. Illuminating, surprising, funny, and often profound, I Must Be Dreaming explores Roz Chast's newest subject of fascination-and promises to make it yours, too.

Praise for I Must Be Dreaming

“I Must Be Dreaming is Roz Chast at her chastiest, serving up cartoons direct from the source of her apparently vintage chintz-upholstered unconscious. They reduced me repeatedly to spasms of laugh-crying. Indeed, I imagine Freud and Jung are not only spinning in their graves right now, they are peeing their pants.” ―Alison Bechdel, author of Fun Home

“You will laugh constantly while reading Roz Chast's dreamy new book. You might also tear up. It's profoundly reassuring to be reminded that the deep emotional mysteries of life are there waiting whenever we shut our eyes, and even more reassuring to remember that they can be so hilarious.” ―Liana Finck, author of Let There Be Light

“Chast treks with extraordinary candor and vulnerability through the maze of her own psyche, mapping out our own in the process.” ―Maria Popova, The Marginalian

Mask Policy

Masks are encouraged but not required for this event.

Walking from the Harvard Square T station: 10 minutes

As you exit the station, cross Mass. Ave. and proceed along Brattle St. Follow Brattle St. as it curves to the right in Brattle Square (follow the sidewalk on the right side of the street). The Brattle will be on the left-hand side of the street. The building is shared with Algiers Cafe and Alden & Harlow Restaurant, and the theatre entrance is on the left side of the building—look for the sidewalk poster case and marquee.
