Su questo libro

Dalla quarta di copertina

"Good and Mad saved me from going insane with rage, led me to laughter with its perfectly pitched cartoons and even provided a solution for replacing helplessness with action. What a better place our world would be if we learned how to handle our rage, an all-too-frequent by-product of congested traffic, layoffs and custody battles. This book should be mandatory reading."
—Amy Tan, international bestselling author The Joy Luck Club and The Bonesetter's Daughter
