Items related to It's a Good Life, if You Don't Weaken
In his first graphic novel, It's a Good Life, If You Don't Weaken, Seth pays homage to the wit and sophistication of the magazine cartoon. Disaffected by the crassness of contemporary culture, Seth takes refuge in a quest to uncover the life and work of Kalo, a forgotten New Yorker cartoonist from the 1940s, but his obsession blinds him to his increasingly withdrawn lover and the quiet desperation of his family. Charming old-fashioned style characterizes this gently wry modern quest tale about longing, anxiety and the lessons of nostalgia.

form'
-- Independent on Sunday: Rev'd Tim Martin
`Seth does not-much-happening with more elegance - swooshing retro brushwork; muted tones - than almost anyone'
-- Sam Leith, Telegraph
