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, collectible package. Each accompanied by one of Rothman's
full-color 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.
