In this interview at the Luise Ross Gallery on May 1, 2010, Dr. Lisa turns her sights on getting to the bottom of what makes star New Yorker cartoonist, Edward Koren tick. He's complicated but his love of drawing and firefighting are obvious.
Btw: Note to Ken Johnson of The NY Times re this comment: "But he is not a big risk taker, and not one to stir up the censors." I find it hard to perceive a man who runs into burning buildings is not a risk taker. -Dr. Lisa
