( ) A book of one per page mostly literary cartoons. The canon that gets referened is somewhat limited, and relies heavily on the reader having a similar cultural context. I was excited by the one that referenced J G Ballard, rather than dead English writers (I'm oversimplifying. but 'classics of the English tradition' at the very least). There were multiple points at which I was all That Isn't Funny - reference to an anti-Semitic trope, and mixing of ableist words in with more lighthearted terms as if they all had the same weight. There may well be others I missed. Plus there were a couple of just nasty ones about sports fans. There is no need to belittle that which others love just to celebrate yours. Includes (among others): • “The ‘More Poetry for Children’ campaign one of the selections is Crimefighting with Spiderman & Ginsberg in which the superhero leading the chase glances back at the poets running along behind him wearing only shorts and glasses. Spiderman informs Ginsberg of their next move: “I’ll catch the crooks in my web, then you blow their minds with a poem.” • “An exclusive excerpt from ‘The Wolf Hall Fun Book by Hilary Mantel” that includes a maze to “Lead King Henry to his tryst with Anne Boleyn avoiding the queen and the French ambassador,” • “Shakespeare Adaption Generator” in which you, :Chose one item from each column to create an innovate production idea. I chose French Robot King Lear Aboard a speedboat, although I was tempted to set it On Mars. • “Some Horrifyingly Fiendish Crosswords” one of which upon completion opens a portal to hell. • The title cartoon wherein Kafka demonstrates baking a lemon drizzle cake to show that “The meaning of life is that it stops.” But come back next week for banoffee pie! aucune critique | ajouter une critique

"In his inimitable style, British cartoonist Tom Gauld has opened comics to a crossover audience and challenged perceptions of what the medium can be. Noted as a "book-lover's cartoonist," Gauld's weekly strips in the Guardian, Britain's most well-regarded newspaper, stitch together the worlds of literary criticism and pop culture to create brilliantly executed, concise comics. Simultaneously silly and serious, Gauld adds an undeniable lightness to traditionally highbrow themes. From sarcastic panels about the health hazards of being a best-selling writer to a list of magical items for fantasy writers (such as the Amulet of Attraction, which summons mainstream acceptance, Hollywood money, and fresh coffee), Gauld's cartoons are timely and droll-his trademark British humour, impeccable timing, and distinctive visual style sets him apart from the rest. Lauded both for his frequent contributions to New Scientist, the Guardian and the New York Times, and his Eisner-nominated graphic novels, Tom Gauld is one of the most celebrated cartoonists working today. In Baking With Kafka, he proves this with one witty, sly, ridiculous comic after another."-- Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
