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.
Review
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
Praise for the works of Tom Gauld: 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
