\"\"<\/a>Gauld, Tom. En la cocina con Kafka: tiras c\u00f3micas de Tom Gauld<\/em>. Trad., Carlos Mayor Ortega. Barcelona: Salamandra, 2018. [160] p. (Salamandra Graphic). ISBN 978-84-16131-35-8. 18 \u20ac.<\/span><\/p>\n

Si aix\u00f2 no fos una ressenya per escrit i estigu\u00e9s davant d\u2019un p\u00fablic, segurament ara podria fer una pregunta: \u00abQui coneix Tom Gauld?\u00bb. Potser serien poques les mans que s\u2019alcessin, per\u00f2 si tot seguit mostr\u00e9s una tira c\u00f2mica de l\u2019autor i torn\u00e9s a fer la pregunta, de ben segur que s\u2019aixecarien m\u00e9s bra\u00e7os. I \u00e9s que Gauld, gr\u00e0cies al seu humor i al seu estil de dibuix que el caracteritza, s\u2019ha fet a poc a poc un lloc i s\u00f3n molts els qui alguna vegada hem compartit alguna de les seves tires a les xarxes socials.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Gauld va n\u00e9ixer l\u2019any 1976 a Esc\u00f2cia. Els seus personatges s\u00f3n a priori<\/em> inexpressius i simples, fets amb quatre ratlletes i rostres molt b\u00e0sics que moltes vegades no tenen ni cara. Per\u00f2 no em malinterpreteu: el que fa Gauld \u00e9s digne d\u2019admiraci\u00f3 (perdoneu, em costa ser neutral). Di\u00e0legs punyents formant un c\u00f2ctel d\u2019ironia, absurditat, tendresa i humor. Ha treballat (i treballa) per a mitjans com TimeOut, The New Yorker, The New York Times, The Guardian<\/em> i New Scientist.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Com molts, els seus inicis van ser a trav\u00e9s de l\u2019autopublicaci\u00f3. Al nostre pa\u00eds, Salamandra li ha publicat dos llibres m\u00e9s: Un polic\u00eda en la Luna<\/em> (tendres aventures d\u2019un policia destinat a la Lluna i on pr\u00e0cticament no hi viu ning\u00fa) i Todo el mundo tiene envidia de mi mochila voladora<\/em>, que \u00e9s similar al llibre que avui ens ocupa i que reuneix tires c\u00f2miques publicades a The Guardian<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

En la cocina con Kafka,<\/em> publicat enguany, s\u2019hi recullen les tires que d\u2019alguna manera o altra es relacionen amb la literatura i el m\u00f3n de la lectura. La majoria es van publicar a The Guardian<\/em>, per\u00f2 tamb\u00e9 n\u2019hi ha d\u2019altres mitjans.<\/span><\/p>\n

Humor (brit\u00e0nic) fresc ple de refer\u00e8ncies culturals i un punt gamberro<\/em> que us encantar\u00e0. Potser una de les tires m\u00e9s compartides \u00e9s aquesta:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Qui no s\u2019hi sent reflectit d\u2019una manera o altra? Tots tenim \u2013m\u00e9s o menys\u2013 llibres a casa que sabem que no llegirem mai o que deixarem per sempre a mitges o que no ens han agradat gens.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Tom se l\u2019ha catalogat com \u00abel dibuixant que estima els llibres<\/a>\u00bb (us deixo l\u2019enlla\u00e7 del reportatge que van fer a El Peri\u00f3dico<\/em>). Busca la part m\u00e9s criticable del sector i la plasma amb dibuixos, intentant poder arribar a tothom i que la gent gaudeixi tant com ell de les seves tires.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Es fa dif\u00edcil calcular quantes tires van sobre llibres, llibreries o biblioteques… vull dir: la majoria s\u00f3n bastant transversals i juguen molt amb la inspiraci\u00f3 dels autors, els protagonistes de llibres que tots coneixem, el proc\u00e9s creatiu a l\u2019hora d\u2019escriure… \u00e9s un mix. Crec que \u00e9s un llibre que pot llegir qualsevol persona (li agradi o no el c\u00f2mic) i m\u00e9s encara si t\u00e9 alguna vinculaci\u00f3 amb el m\u00f3n literari o li agrada molt llegir. A m\u00e9s, penseu que com que s\u00f3n tires curtes i independents, es pot anar llegint a trossos: ideal per al transport p\u00fablic!<\/span><\/p>\n

Jo us vull compartir una de les meves tires preferides:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Per cert, Tom Gauld va ser fa poc a Barcelona, dins el marc del festival Primera Persona organitzat pel CCCB<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
