http://... - Author and illustrator Maira Kalman talks about her life and work -- from her New Yorker covers to her children's books to her two latest books for grownups. And yes, in person, she is as wonderful, as wise, and as deliciously off-kilter as her work.

Prime .. when I read your comments, my first thought was "WHAT!!!" .... Then I re-read, thought it over and realized you have a certain kinship with the artistic and this is not an insult! I gave you a well deserved thumbs up.

See her discussion in the vein of art movements like DaDa and expressionism. Her conveyance of discourse reflects her philosophy in art. She is a philosophical absurdist and this is not an insult! Research absurdism or read Albert Camus' The Myth of Sisyphus. She has hope even if sees pain and suffering in her life. What is the purpose? It is the description and not the explanation.

The music does sound comical, like the intro of a VW bug filled with clowns in a circus.

Oh no, she sounds like me. Writing, fantastic, but speaking, it scares people.

She made me confused.

She is simply a stream-of-conscious blurter with little to no editing component before her thoughts fly out as words. But her intelligence is evident through the breadth of her mental connections/associations.

jj. Weird but interesting.

I didn't find her talk very comprehensible or all that funny but she does appear to be from a different planet than me so I guess that makes my opinion irrelevant.

Her methods of reasoning are different--incomprehensible to some despite how they are invaluable to me. Only someone with a mind like hers could draw a verbal map connecting doodles of onions, post-9/11 humor, human relationships, and the point of our existence.
