| Bob Mankoff: 'I'm Not Arguing, I'm Jewish' |
November 20, 2014 |

Sitting behind his desk at The New Yorker, Bob Mankoff thinks about humor all day, and then, he goes home to dream about it at night. He's been the magazine’s cartoon editor since 1997. But Mankoff is more than a cartoon guru; he's also a serious thinker about the history of humor and its role in society. As it turns out, cartoons provide a powerful lens through which to see religion today.
Mankoff spoke to Nadine Epstein, editor of Moment Magazine. This is part four of our occasional series, "Great Jewish Thinkers" - our collboration with Moment about Jewish trailblazers in arts, politics and culture. From April 2014.
