“My goal was to overthrow the government…” – Jules Feiffer

What a treat it was to chat with Jules Feiffer, Pulitzer Prize and Academy Award-winning cartoonist, playwright, screenwriter, novelist, author of more than 35 books, illustrator, and for decades the most widely read satirist in America. Enjoy this candid interview in which he explains how he went about trying to overthrow the government, the relationship between text and image, his transformation from high school nerd to celebrity, the bogus nature of literary scholarship, and more.
