Kochen mit Kafka

In Kochen mit Kafka (2018–present), Scottish cartoonist Tom Gauld brings his signature deadpan wit to Edition Moderne in a single-issue comic that mashes up literary absurdity with culinary whimsy. The premise is as concise as it is bizarre—a playful, illustrated recipe collection inspired by Franz Kafka, where the mundane act of cooking meets the existential dread and dark humor of his stories. This slim volume matters as a delightfully offbeat artifact of Gauld’s minimalist style, proving that even the most unlikely pairings can yield a perfectly balanced comic.
