A gloriously dark book filled with funny illustrations about life and death.

Deep Thoughts from a Shallow Grave celebrates life in its humorous and often satirical confrontation of death. Conceived and written by Martignetti in the early days of the 2020 lockdown, these witty illustrated tombstones were shared with his family and friends, bringing some (albeit dark) humour to their days when there wasn’t much other good news.

More than one hundred of these off-kilter meditations on life and death are now collected in this book. Handwritten epitaphs such as β€œWaiting to inhale” and β€œThere are fifty better ways to leave your lover” will have readers chuckling and prompt reflection on the absurdity of this fleeting and precious thing we call life.

About the Author

Anthony Martignetti is a well-known New York City restaurateur and bar owner. He has been drawing cartoons most of his adult life to entertain his friends and family. With New York locked down and his restaurants closed, he had the opportunity to spend much more time drawing, and in 2020 had his first cartoons published both in the New Yorker and Airmail.
