But Brodner does not ignore those who perpetuated the pandemic in word or deed: he also etches in acid caricature those public servants and private entrepreneurs who preyed upon the public, spread lies, and aided the virus’ spread through their ignorance, incompetence, and malfeasance. Released via Brodner's daily column in \u003ci\u003eThe Nation\u003c\/i\u003e, the drawings range from quick, expertly realized sketches to elaborate paintings to carefully rendered mixed media, depending on how much time and stamina and inspiration he had left at the end of the day. Each spontaneously drawn or painted image is accompanied by a brief biography of those who died, or a short summary of the person’s conduct or the event depicted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaken as a whole, \u003ci\u003eLiving \u0026amp; Dying in America\u003c\/i\u003e is a chronicle of those who died and those who honorably served the living — as well as an indictment of those institutions and political figures who betrayed the public trust. It is a searing and essential moral document, written and drawn on a daily basis with feverish intensity by one of the great forces of American cartooning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSteve Brodner\u003c\/b\u003e is an award-winning caricature artist, political cartoonist, educator, and author; publications such as \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eEsquire\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e feature his work.
