Sempe: Notes from the Couch

This hardback notebook is sure to draw out your inner therapist! For decades, renowned cartoonist and illustrator Jean Jacques Sempe (b. 1932) has delighted our literary senses with his classic and witty cartoons found on the covers of The New Yorker and Paris Match. In this notebook, Sempe's illustrations delve into the world of psychoanalysis, exploring the complex and sometimes absurd relationships between therapists and their patients, captured with his signature insight, wit and lightness of touch. From a languid lay in the quintessential patient couch, to a quaint window where an old married couple discusses nature as an antidepressant, Sempe covers it all. This hilarious and delightful notebook contains lined and blank pages to write down one's own thoughts, ideas and dreams, away from the confusion and anxieties of the modern world. The classic Sempe images peppered throughout the notebook will appeal both to cartoon connoisseurs and the stressed-out alike.
