Mamushka by Andrea Dezsó VIEW ONLINE “I remember the flood, it was like a dream.” “How can that be,” my mother says. “You were such a little child.” But I remember all the same the brown, murky sea that stole our streets overnight, carrying curious things: people in boats, rubber tires, mint-green kitchen furniture, and an inflatable bunny with its eyes wide open in painted surprise. I was standing on the windowsill next to Mamushka, pressing my nose flat against the glass. In artist/writer Andrea Deszó’s illustrated children's story Mamushka, a child’s memories of a beloved grandmother are refracted through the prism of her rich imagination. New York resident Andrea Dezsó was born in Hungary and has undergraduate and graduate degrees from the Hungarian University of Design. Her illustrations have appeared in the New York Times Book Review, Print, and many other publications, and her short story “The Numbers” was featured in McSweeney’s 12. Dezso is currently a faculty member in the MFA program at Parsons School of Design and is represented by New York City’s Jack Tilton Gallery.
