If I don't get pneumonia, that'll be a miracle\") through the parted Red Sea waters, to George Gershwin teaching Fred Astaire a dance step, to Madonna seen as a horseperson of the apocalypse; from Brahms dozing off as Liszt plays, to Rodin auditioning models, and Reagan as Robin Hood, taking from the poor and giving to the rich.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003eHere are such fabulous targets for the satirist's pen as LBJ, Nixon and the Watergate Gang, a holstered Jimmy Carter at high noon in the hostage crisis, and a poignant Dan Quayle as the central figure in a comic strip about a man who wants a little respect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003eAnd it's pure pleasure to watch Sorel portray Tom Wolfe in his famous white suit or Woody Allen and Mia Farrow caught in The Storm, or draw a bead on such superstars as Picasso and John Updike, Barbra Streisand, Colette, Truman Capote, and the entire cast of Casablanca. Each of the book's three sections--\"History, \" \"Entertainment and the Arts, \" \"Politics\" --has a wry autobiographical introduction, and every drawing has its own pithy, informative caption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003eHere's wit aplenty, visual and verbal--a splendid satirical view of the wise, the beautiful, the clever, and the flawed, over the centuries, who loom large in our lives and in our imaginations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Knopf","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52366794719530,"sku":"74220","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/2879\/4922\/files\/8473BC0D-4F68-4E0D-ADFA-6163CFF658B0.jpg?v=1788459875","url":"https:\/\/stuartngbooks.com\/products\/unauthorized-portraits-74220","provider":"Stuart Ng Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
