Revenge of the Librarians

Confront the spectre of failure, the wraith of social media, and other supernatural enemies of the literary world in this witty collection of cartoons from acclaimed artist Tom Gauld.

With his signature blend of clever humour and perfectly composed illustrations, Gauld takes aim at the quirks and absurdities of literary life, from the pretentious, procrastinating novelist to the mercenary editor and the deliberately obscure poet. No corner of the literary world is safe, with references spanning everything from Jane Eyre to Game of Thrones.

Watch in horror as the bedside book stack grows ever taller, deadlines slip further away, critics dissect manuscripts, and impossibly productive writers inspire envy in everyone around them.

Packed with literary mischief, sharp observations, and delightfully dark humour, Revenge of the Librarians is a must-read for book lovers, writers, librarians, and anyone who appreciates the wonderfully absurd side of creative life.
