A collection of brilliantly off-the-wall cartoons. Ever wondered what <i>War and Peace</i> clickbait looks like? Or Machiavelli's month planner? Gauld can help
* Daily Mail, Best Reads of 2017 *
Tom Gauld might just be the Edward Gorey of our time, channelling his wry humour and macabre aesthetic through exquisite black-and-white illustrations
- MARIA POPOVA,
Each single-page piece is a clever, funny, slightly bonkers riff on a literary theme . . . Sublime
* The Times *
One of the best cartoonists around!
* BoingBoing *
<b>Praise for the works of Tom Gauld: </b>Heartwarming
* Guardian *
At once hilarious and achingly melancholy . . . A quietly essential read
* Wired *
His economical art . . . is married to dry, incisive humor, making each strip a carefully composed marvel
* Publishers Weekly *
The ironic takes on key moments in history and literature (Armstrong on the moon, Cathy and Heathcliff wandering the moor) will certainly elicit a few laughs
* Vogue *
Gauld's deceptively simple panels and sparse, understated dialogue speak poetically . . . Gauld finds humour and hope - as well as coffee and doughnuts - in his portrait of a fading utopia
* Guardian *
Precise and wryly hilarious
* NPR, Best Books of 2013 *
2018 EISNER AWARD-WINNER - BEST HUMOUR PUBLICATION
In Baking with Kafka, Tom Gauld asks the questions no one else dares ask about civilisation as we know it.
- How do you get published during a skeleton apocalypse?
- What was the secret of Kafka's lemon drizzle cake?
- And what plot possibilities does the exploding e-cigarette offer modern mystery writers?
A riotous collection of laugh-out-loud cartoons in his signature style, Baking with Kafka reaffirms Gauld's position as a first-rate cartoonist, creating work infused with a deep understanding of both literary and cartoon history.
