“The Angriest Political Cartoonist in America.”—New York Magazine“The kind of political cartoons that get under your skin and stay there.”—PRINT Magazine“Sumptuous”—Bookforum“This brave cartoonist is a public hero.”—CounterPunch“Museum of Degenerates invites you to a delirious display of art by one of contemporary America’s most original and incendiary political cartoonists. Eli Valley’s extraordinary work is a scathing indictment of the entire American polity, with a particular focus on the issues of Israel and Judaism at a time when these have moved to the center of public debate and action.”—The Daily Cartoonist“Commitment and conviction saturate every illustration on every page . . . It is a funny, infuriating, astonishing, antagonizing, and alarming book that will win him few friends in the current moment but is exactly and precisely the kind of art that is needed to meet it.”—Comics Journal“Valley wields his editorial pen effectively and devastatingly. We need brilliant, perceptive artists like him—and others—if we are to see these jackals for who they truly are.”—Progressive Magazine"At a time when language fails, Valley refuses euphemism. He draws what others won't say, and dares you to look."—HaaretzPRAISE FOR ELI VALLEY'S DIASPORA BOY“One of the most fascinating and darkly humorous books in living memory.”—Los Angeles Review of Books“Explosively subversive.” —Kirkus“His cartoons aren’t only raucously funny. They constitute a searing indictment of the moral corruption of organized American Jewish life in our age.” —Peter Beinart
