Censorship in America: A Dialogue in Words and Pictures by the Ex-Cartoonists of the New York Times and Washington Post is a book of political cartoons unravelling Ann Telnaes’ and Patrick Chappatte’s conversation about the growing suppression of critical works at major publications.
Through a back-and-forth dialogue between these two major political cartoonists, this gorgeous book showcases the contrast between how both countries regard this craft (and the satirized expression of power).
Published by a French publishing house, this book is generously sized at 9″x11″, with 224 pages.
Although Censure en Amerique is mostly in French, at least three-quarters of the book is made up of full-page and double-truck spreads of colored English and French political cartoons. While Chappatte’s drawings have French dialogue, the language is sparse and easy to understand for beginners at middle school and higher levels.
Ann Telnaes won her second Pulitzer not long after she quit the Washington Post when it censored her work. And now, she’s teamed up with the award-winning Swiss cartoonist Patrick Chappatte on this book of scathing cartoons mocking Trump and his enablers.
