Description
When your world is upended, how do you react? Who do you become? New York Times columnists, illustrator Julia Rothman and writer Shaina Feinberg, seek answers to these questions and more in this gorgeously illustrated collection of sometimes heartbreaking, always illuminating first-person stories.
Based on one of Feinberg and Rothman's columns in the New York Times, "How We Got By: New Yorkers' Advice for Getting Through a Crisis," How We Got By is an ambitious journalistic undertaking rendered in an artful, collectable package. Each accompanied by one of Rothman's full-colour illustrated portraits, these personal accounts touch on a wide variety of subjects, from money and business to relationships, family, trauma, and death.
A window into the world of how others think, feel, and, ultimately, survive, How We Got By invites us to remember our shared humanity as well as our truly extraordinary resilience.
