Patty Marx won me over with her novel Him Her Him Again the End of Him (2007), a hilarious sendup of contemporary relationships and, as a bonus, academic pretense. Roz Chast has been one of the New Yorker's most original cartoonist voices for more than four decades. Last year the two collaborated on the book Why Don't You Write My Eulogy Now So I Can Correct It? A Mother's Suggestions published in time for Mother's Day gift giving. This year their new collaboration is You Can Only Yell at Me for One Thing at a Time: Rules for Couples published—lo and behold!—in time for Valentine's Day. I ordered my copy just before Strand's January 14 signing and it has been delivered via mail signed by both women and...dogeared.
