Descrição

Literature fans are well aware of Tom Gauld's work. His stories about writers and readers and his jokes about the world of books have become classics among those who love reading. One of his best-known strips, in which a science fiction author tells his more dour colleagues as he takes off, "You're just jealous of my jet pack," has been viewed and shared millions of times. In Lunar Guard, Gauld returns to long form, as in the award-winning Goliath, and admirers will soon recognize the most striking features of his work: the dry humor, the economy of action, the melancholic atmosphere that reveals grace, sadness and absurdity. of everyday life. On the rounds of the lonely police officer on the Moon, little happens: a dog runs away, a robot malfunctions, a resident returns to Earth. In a future in which the colonization of space has become apparently banal, the guard circulates through the vast empty scenery in a succession of confusing days. At once fun and dark, the book captures essential truths about who we are. By combining past, present and future, Gauld creates a science fiction world almost like our own — an adjustment in the lens that will reveal to the reader a reality that is as close as it is surprising.
