The Book Tour


A page-turning,  Kafkaesque dark comedy in brilliant retro style, this graphic novel  watches one man try to keep it together while everything falls apart.


Upon  the publication of his latest novel, G. H. Fretwell, a minor English  writer, embarks on a book tour to promote it. Nothing is going according  to plan, and his trip gradually turns into a nightmare. But now the  police want to ask him some questions about a mysterious disappearance,  and it seems that Fretwell's troubles are only just beginning...

In  his first book for adults in many years, acclaimed cartoonist Andi  Watson evokes all the anxieties felt by every writer and compresses them  into a comedic gem of a book. Witty, surreal, and sharply observant, The Book Tour offers a captivating lesson in letting go.
