El mundillo literario

In this collection of cartoons published in The Guardian between 2002 and 2005, Posy Simmonds sharpens her pen and wit to paint a ruthless portrait of the literary world. With his extraordinary gift to observe and parody, she humorously reviews the characteristic traits of those who make literature their way of life. Writers who suffer from 'rural block' when they move to the countryside and then type their sexual fantasies into a laptop, juggling the dilemmas of feminism and motherhood; authors who suffer from "acute egotitis" when they come into contact with their audiences during book signings, complain about critics and deplore having to "jump through media hoops"; small booksellers who struggle to survive and who must deal with recalcitrant customers and commercials who try to place the latest book of a great celebrity: no one is exempt from receiving what they deserve... with love, yes.
