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.
“Allan’s interests include art, music, comics, cartooning and film. He’s currently reading mainly fantasy and music biographies.”
This is the perfect book of cartoons for those who like reading, writing and everything in between. Gauld’s incisive scrutiny of literature, the creative process, the literary life and modern pop-culture manages to be funny, enlightening, gently irreverent and nerdy-cool all at the same time.
