Revenge of the Librarians: Cartoons by Tom Gauld

Product Information

The Barbican Libraries are located on Level 2 within the Barbican. They can be accessed from the main building via stairs or lifts from Level G or via Frobisher Crescent from the highwalks. 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. As for the comics... they're cute, and the illustrations are reminiscent of a colorful, less crudely done version of "xkcd." Many of them have jokes that book aficionados will love, and anyone who's ever struggled with trying to write a book will identify with. It knows its audience and caters heavily to it, which is in no way a bad thing.

Gauld finds a rich vein of comedy related to the written word.”—Erik Pedersen, The Southern California Newsgroup Woman reading: "This is either a quiet masterpiece, subtly and meticulously detailing the gentle rhythms of daily life, or just really boring."I'm going to be honest, I kind of like Cyn more when she's with Peter. In this book especially, she seemed more comfortable and open with Peter than with Ryan. After she was no longer suspicious of course,

At first glance, Cyn appears to be an average teen bent on having the best summer of her life. She's a talented set designer, she's going to a camp for theater enthusiasts with her cute boyfriend Ryan, and she has an amazing group of friends. But Cyn isn't a typical teenager, and this isn't going to be an ordinary summer for her. As Cyn faces obstacles, both human and supernatural, she will learn the true meaning of love, friendship and inner strength. Perfect amount of horror to make things creepy at times but not overly scary and not overly done. Also a bit of a nice romantic touch involving Cyn and Peter and Cyn and Ryan. With Ryan, her crush and now boyfriend by her side, Cyn takes off for summer theatre camp not expecting to encounter demons ... or Jules, Ryan’s “friend” who just happens to be a pretty blonde.

Confront the spectre of failure, the wraith of social media, and other supernatural enemies of the author The story is overall as quite a bit of energy and tension to it. It is funny and outspoken and has such vitality to it making it an unbelievable read. Knudsen keeps the pace up and the tension rising, but she does not lose those essential character dynamics, and she does not lose the humor. Everything she has done has made this novel incredible. Is he a good or bad demon?! Is there even such a thing? Can he read her mind? How does he know she would love to use Jules as demon bait?! Hahaha! Gli stessi schemi si ripetono in continuazione all'interno del libro: ricorrono spesso espedienti identici e, fondamentalmente, viene utilizzata sempre un'unica dinamica umoristica. Molto simile alle due raccolte precedenti, "Baking with Kafka" e "Department of Mind-Blowing Theories", anche per le idee di alcune strisce, con la sola differenza che questa, forse, si rivolge ad un target più ristretto, considerando che una gran parte dei jokes siano riferiti alla categoria degli scrittori.

I'm the New York Times best-selling author of 50 books for young readers for all ages, including the award-winning picture book Library Lion, which was selected by Time magazine as one of the 100 Best Children's Books of All Time. My other books include the picture book Marilyn's Monster (one of NPR's Best Books of 2015) and the novels The Dragon of Trelian (VOYA Top Shelf Fiction for Middle School Readers) and Evil Librarian (YALSA Best Fiction for Young Adults and winner of the Sid Fleischman Award for Humor). Upcoming books include a new picture book with the wonderful Kevin Hawkes (2024) and a new middle grade fantasy novel (2025). I have the honour of owning an original drawing of one of the strips featured here, the one about a writer having a great idea… for lunch. It was cool to see it in full-colour here for the first time, I’ve been looking at it for at-least a couple years now. I keep it above my desk because in the mornings having a great idea for lunch is really the only great ideas I can conjure up. Cyn is sure nothing can, until the drama-loving demon pops up wanting to write the next broadway musical!My issue is that after a bit, some of the jokes get rather repetitive. I can only take so many jokes that take the same five book titles and do unimaginative wordplay with them twice before I start rolling my eyes. And all the pandemic-related jokes, while they may have been timely when the comics circulated on social media, feel like basically every quarantine meme you've seen on Facebook. Starlit Lovers – Lor Phoenix and KitsuneArt’s Touching “Sapphic Slice-of-Life Romance” Debuts at Thought Bubble October 30, 2023 A book that is so perfectly suited to be given as a gift to a librarian, writer, or book lover in your life.”—Matt Baume, The Stranger I was pleasantly surprised with this book. When I originally read the first book, I thought it was a standalone book. I know that there was more story to be told if you consider the two remaining trips to the demon realm. Me alegro de haber podido leerlo en ebiblio y no haber pagado, porque sino me sentiría ultra estafada.
