Indexed

Jessica Hagy turns ideas about everyday life into simple visual charts, showing in pictures what most of us struggle to put into words. This collection pairs fresh diagrams with a selection of her best-known work, covering relationships, choices and the small absurdities of ordinary days. Each page works quickly, and the drawings are built to make readers laugh and then pause to consider what they have just seen. Anyone who enjoys wit with a thoughtful edge will find it a quick and original read.
