Riassunto

Quirky and referential, dark and droll, by turn, Blegvad's cartoons are indeed unlike anything else in print - and this book is a delight - beautifully produced, with flat-bound, mirrored cover boards and full colour printing throughout. It is an object to treasure, and a snip at £12.99. Features on Leviathan will appear in The Independent on Sunday and a range of other press including Q and Mojo.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

Peter Blegvad's comic strip is one of the greatest, weirdest things I've ever stared at. Give me Leviathan or give me death! (Matt Groening)

Whenever I'm asked for proof that literature, art and poetry can exist in comic form, I point to Peter Blegvad. (Ben Katchor, author The Jew of New York.)

The greatest, weirdest thing. (Times Literary Supplement)

Blegvad has opened up the crib-fenced world that precedes words and filled it to the brim with deadpan poetry and gnomic chatter (San Francisco Chronicle)

Funny, enigmatic and beautifully limned- what more could one ask? (Glen Baxter The Observer, Book of the Year)

Combines surreal imagination and existential musings with superb draughtsmanship. (The List, Glasgow & Edinburgh)

Deeply weird, unique and disturbingly wonderful. (Independent on Sunday)

L'autore:

Peter Blegvad is a polymath - a writer, cartooonist, and, most often a musician. Born in New York, he lives, like Leviathan, in Shepherds Bush.
