This is a delightful and insightful collection of comics about books, reading, and writing. Almost every page contains a well-illustrated and cleverly worded gem that will resonate with and appeal to anyone who has found themselves up too late reading, or pulled into an interesting bookstore or library, despite the teetering pile already on the nightstand, or pulling out their hair, looking for the best word. Für einen Bibliophilen wie mich war dieses Buch Pflicht. Es gibt so wenig Schönes zu diesem Thema und noch weniger Nachdenkliches, Kreatives über Lesen, Bibliotheken, Schreiben und Bücher. Die von Grant Snider gezeichneten & geschriebenen Gedankenanregungen lassen mich so viele Erinnerungen nacherleben und viele neue wurden wach geküsst. Wir schreiben alle ab und zu, und ein Notizbuch ist immer dabei, schreiben geht nur für mich selbst, ein Bestseller nach Vorgaben und Marketingtricks wird nix. So interpretiere ich die Leiden auf Seite 108 und blättere weiter nach 103, um neue Zeilen zu verfassen. Auf dem Punkt auch die möglichen Konflikte in der Literatur: Der Mensch gegen (oder mit?) die Natur, die Gesellschaft, die Technik, den anderen Menschen, sich selbst, die Realität, gegen Gott, gegen kein Gott und gegen den Autor. Seite 49. Leseblockaden wie auf Seite 62 dargestellt - kenne ich nicht. Ein Buch geht immer, notfalls im Ohr. Es gibt keine Regeln in der Schreiberei, sie sind Krücken für kreativ Lahme, dieser Satz gilt auch hier. Seite für Seite wird man überrascht und kann schmunzeln. Einfach großartig, ein Geschenk für Buchliebhaber par excellence. The sequential art in this book is sort of structured around a preliminary "confession," which supplies its lines as subject titles for the sections of the volume, like "I confuse fiction with reality" and "I care about punctuation -- a lot." Most of it is expressed in pages of nine to sixteen panels, with each page detailing or iterating a distinct idea in the general space of reading, writing, and book husbandry. Less often, but more enjoyably to me, a page bears a single Scarry-esque drawing with a host of minutely annotated features, such as "The National Department of Poetry" (89). The art is stylized and dynamic, with a naïve air, but obvious skill at efficient communication. The "humor" of the affair is chiefly created through wordplay and relatably-depicted states of bibliophilia. I don't think I had a laugh-out-loud moment in reading the book, but I was often smiling. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

HTML:A look at the culture and fanaticism of book lovers, from the beloved New York Times illustrator and creator of Incidental Comics. It's no secret, but we are judged by our bookshelves. We learn to read at an early age, and as we grow older we shed our beloved books for new ones. But some of us surround ourselves with books. We collect them, decorate with them, are inspired by them, and treat our books as sacred objects. In this lighthearted collection of one- and two-page comics, writer-artist Grant Snider explores bookishness in all its forms, and the love of writing and reading, building on the beloved literary comics featured on his website, Incidental Comics. I Will Judge You by Your Bookshelf is the perfect gift for bookworms of all ages. "This playful, self-aware collection of strips and gags on the joys and frustrations of reading and writing is equal parts lighthearted and sincere . . . The panels range from gently clever to surprisingly profound to laugh-out-loud." â??Publishers Weekly "A prescient book for these times." â??Newsarama Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |

(Side note to all writers: yes, writing is hard. But so are many, many, many other jobs, most of them harder than writing. Nobody cares about how hard writing is, except maybe other writers who write about how hard writing is.) ( )
