Noted as a \"book-lover's cartoonist,\" Gauld's weekly strips in \u003ci\u003eThe Guardian\u003c\/i\u003e, 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLauded both for his frequent contributions to \u003ci\u003eNew Scientist\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Guardian\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e, and his Eisner-nominated graphic novels, Tom Gauld is one of the most celebrated cartoonists working today. In \u003ci\u003eBaking with Kafka\u003c\/i\u003e, he proves this with one witty, sly, ridiculous comic after another.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tom Gauld\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1770462961\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781770462960\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Drawn \u0026amp; Quarterly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/03\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.10h x 8.00w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/03\/2017","brand":"Tom Gauld","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44049166893311,"sku":"9781770462960","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_03bc23e3-b2bb-414e-873d-109f1e931e64.jpg?v=1685000022","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/baking-with-kafka-tom-gauld-9781770462960","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
