Information sur l'oeuvrePercy Gloom par Cathy Malkasian
![]() Books Read in 2020 (892) Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre. Percy Gloom is an odd character. When you first meet him you'll wonder just what you've come across but in time like me you'll come to love him. Percy leaves home in order to land his dream job writing cautionary literature for Safely Now but finds himself drawn into a world he doesn't understand. Percy Gloom has been described as Satire, Nightmare, or possibly a Fairy tale for adults but none of these quite describes the unique experience of reading Cathy Malkasian's first book. I will definitely be looking out for this author in the future. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Percy Gloom, cautious and oversheltered to an extreme, dreams of working for Safety-Now, a company that puts warning signs on household objects--but the road getting there forces him to confront questions about life and death (and safety, of course).

I love the art, and the feel of Percy's bizarre and melancholy world, and the dialogue is chock-full of quotable gems - I'm almost sorry to have read a dead-tree edition that I can't easily click'n'share from.
For those who have questioned the author's message, I'm not sure there needs to be one. Someone described this book as "Lewis Carroll's Alice In Wonderland meets Terry Gilliam's Brazil" and that's a pretty good description of what I got from it.
Very highly recommended. (
