Confront the spectre of failure, the wraith of social media, and
other supernatural enemies of the author Tom Gauld returns with his
wittiest and most trenchant collection of literary cartoons to
date. Perfectly composed drawings are punctuated with the artist's
signature brand of humour, hitting high and low. After all, Gauld
is just as comfortable taking jabs at Jane Eyre and Game of
Thrones. Some particularly favoured targets include the pretentious
procrastinating novelist, the commercial mercenary of the
dispassionate editor, the wilful obscurantism of the vainglorious
poet. Quake in the presence of the stack of bedside books as it
grows taller! Gnash your teeth at the ever-moving deadline that the
writer never meets! Quail before the critic's incisive dissection
of the manuscript! And most importantly, seethe with envy at the
paragon of creative productivity! Revenge of the Librarians
contains even more murders, drubbings and castigations than The
Department of Mind-Blowing Theories, Baking For Kafka or any other
collections of mordant scribblings by the inimitably excellent
Gauld.
