POCKETS: The Problem with Society Is in Women’s Clothing is written and illustrated by Audrey N. Glickman. “We have a pervasive despair:  despair for a pocket, despair about a pocket,” the author proclaims right off the bat. “Seems like everything is affected by pockets.” (Or the lack thereof.) And this is just as we have become a society rife with pocket devices, she reminds us. Glickman’s astute, angst-filled, quirky observations are cleverly enhanced by her illustrations – smart and spare as a New Yorker Magazine cartoon. This book is as original as it gets – well-seasoned with spot-on truths that will have you examining every garment, purse and backpack in your closet.         ($14.95)
