Bücher von Tom Gauld

Confront the spectre of failure, the wraith of social media, and other supernatural enemies of the authorTom Gauld returns with his wittiest and most trenchant collection of literary cartoons to date. Perfectly composed drawings are punctuated with the artist's signature brand of humour, hitting high and low. After all, Gauld is just as comfortable taking jabs at Jane Eyre and Game of Thrones. Some particularly favoured targets include the pretentious procrastinating novelist, the commercial mercenary of the dispassionate editor, the willful obscurantism of the vainglorious poet. Quake in the presence of the stack of bedside books as it grows taller! Gnash your teeth at the ever-moving deadline that the writer never meets! Quail before the critic's incisive dissection of the manuscript! And most importantly, seethe with envy at the paragon of creative productivity!Revenge of the Librarians contains even more murders, drubbings, and castigations than The Department of Mind-Blowing Theories, Baking For Kafka, or any other collections of mordant scribblings by the inimitably excellent Gauld.

The new collection from multi-award-winning cartoonist Tom Gauld - the perfect gift for book lovers everywhere

A hilarious new collection poking fun at the scientific world, from the New York Times bestselling cartoonist and illustrator

«Wer sich immer schon mal gefragt hat, wie Autor*innen arbeiten, wo die Inspiration herkommt, was und warum sie/er lesen soll, wie der Buchmarkt funktioniert, ob sie/er je wieder ein Buch kaufen oder gar schreiben soll, und wenn ja, weshalb, der sollte Tom Gauld lesen. Ich habe immer wieder laut gelacht. Die beschriebenen Szenen beziehen sich mehrheitlich auf die englischsprachige Kultur, und doch: Da ist etwas Universelles an diesen kleinen Szenen, etwas, das einen zugleich glücklich und zutiefst melancholisch stimmt.» - Dr. Gesa Schneider, Leiterin Literaturhaus Zürich
