Scènes uit het literaire leven

Since 2003, Peter van Straaten has written and drawn Scènes uit het literaire leven for the Rainbow Pockets line, a single-issue comic that distills his wry, observational humor into a focused look at the literary world. The book collects his signature single-panel cartoons, each a sharp, affectionate jab at the quirks of writers, readers, and the publishing life. Van Straaten’s long-running series matters as a beloved, characteristically Dutch chronicle of the small absurdities within highbrow culture.
