Spaniel Rage - Vanessa Davis - Bog - Drawn and Quarterly - Plusbog.dk

“I love [Davis’s] free-form drawing . . . She just has a funny, truthful voice.” —Audrey Niffenegger Vanessa Davis’s autobiography, more observational than confessional, delighted readers ten years ago when she first began telling stories about her life in New York as a young single Jewish woman. Spaniel Rage is filled with frank and immediate pencil-drawn accounts of dating woes, misunderstandings between her and her mother, and conversations with friends.Her keen observation of careless words spoken casually is refreshingly honest, yet never condemning. Unabashedly, Davis offers up gently self-deprecating anecdotes about her anxieties and wry truths about the contradictions of life in the big city. These comics are sexy, funny, lonely, beautiful, spare, and very smart—the finest work from a natural storyteller.“[Davis creates] structurally sound, stylistically individual images that also manage to seem totally casual and spur-of-the-moment. The cliché “she makes it look so easy” is acutely appropriate for Vanessa and her work.”— Rookie “The frank, personal specificity of [ Spaniel Rage ] keeps you gripped.”— Vulture, 8 Comics You Need To Read “...a warm, familiar voice … Spaniel Rage holds an amazing freshness 12 years after it was published. It certainly deserves Drawn & Quarterly’s February reissue.”— Paste “[ Spaniel Rage collects] snapshots of her life that feel both utterly familiar and totally weird … a pleasant delve into young life in the city.”— Library Journal “Often funny, often tinged with loss, Davis chronicles a life page by page [and] touches on the anxieties of the internet age.”— The Comics Journal “This work [has] the strange power of making me feel like Davis broke into my apartment and scribbled her life into my personal notebook, just for me.”— Broken Pencil “An honest, unflinching set of loose cartoons… at its core, the commonalities of the cartoons in Spaniel Rage reflect the quirks of daily life itself.”— Bookriot, 5 Graphic Novels To Watch In For February “If you dig slice-of-life graphic novels, then you’ll want to pick up Spaniel Rage from Vanessa Davis … the graphic-novel equivalent of a Seinfeld episode about twentysomethings.”— London Free Pres s

A Claxton Diary - Mark Cocker - Bog - Vintage Publishing - Plusbog.dk

A Claxton Diary - Mark Cocker - Bog - Vintage Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Another beautiful, revelatory country diary from one of the best nature writers in Britain. ''If you’ve never read Mark Cocker, then you must. His style is sharp, selfless, and wonderfully evocative, his knowledge deep and wide-ranging but lightly borne, his curiosity joyful and infectious.'' Mail On Sunday , Books of the YearFor seventeen years, as part of his daily writerly routine, the author and naturalist Mark Cocker has taken a two-mile walk down to the river from his cottage on the edge of the Norfolk Broads National Park. Over the course of those 10,000 daily paces he has learnt the art of patience to observe a butterfly, a bird, flower, bee, deer, otter or fly and to take pleasure in all the other inhabitants of his parish, no matter how seemingly insignificant. In turn these encounters have then been converted into literary epiphanies that are now a widely celebrated part of his work. In A Claxton Diary he has gathered some of the finest short essays that he has ever written on wildlife. They range over almost everything he can see, touch or smell, from the minute to the cosmic, from a strange micromoth called yellow-barred longhorn to that fiercest of winter storms the so-called ‘Beast from the East’.From the marvellous to the macabre, Cocker tries to capture nature without flinching and in its entirety. In so doing he provides us with a vision of an English country parish that for intimacy and precise detail is comparable with Gilbert White’s diary on Selbourne. Above all he reminds us that we are all just members of one miraculous family, fashioned from sunlight and the dust from old stars.
