This could be subtitled “Reading and Writing Books in the Time of COVID.” Gauld is a bibliophile’s cartoonist whose work frequently appears in The Guardian and The New Scientist, and his latest collection will appeal to anyone who loves books. Now that I think about it, Gauld’s work reminds me a lot of Jasper Fforde’s Thursday Next series in terms of his clear love of books, riffs on the literary canon, and sheer silliness — but with Fforde’s zaniness turned down a few notches.

Hiding this review behind a spoiler tag at the request of the publisher until the book’s publication in October. Many thanks to NetGalley and Drawn + Quarterly for providing an advance copy of the book in exchange for an honest review!
