Details: The publisher about the book Seth was born Gregory Gallant on September 16, 1962, in Clinton, a small town in South-Ontario, Canada. The well-known Canadian writer Alice Munro also lives here. Anyone who loves the quiet towns and places that form the backdrop of Seth's stories would also enjoy Alice Munro's stories. Both are sensitive observers, deeply moved by the forgotten details of everyday life. When looking at Seth's work, it is helpful to know his influences. In his childhood, he was a fan of Peanuts and Jack Kirby's 'Eternals'; in the early 80s, Seth attended the Ontario College of Art in Toronto. During his school years, he discovered the work of Robert Crumb, Edward Gorey, the Hernandez Brothers, Hergé, Yves Chaland, John Stanley, and the cool, dry wit of New Yorker cartoonists of the 50s/60s like Whitney Darrow Jr., Cobean, Syd Hoff, Charles Adams, and Peter Arno. These very different sources of inspiration have strongly shaped him, and from them, he has developed his very own, unmistakable illustration style over the last decades, which is also very popular with the Washington Post, Details, National Post, Spin, The New York Times, Saturday Night, and The New Yorker. One of his most recent and well-known illustration projects is the artistic design of the CD and website for singer-songwriter Aimee Mann – art that CNN described as wistful and that Aimee herself says has the same melancholic touch as her songs. Brief description German edition of the new continuation work by the Canadian artist, the third part of which is currently being published in the American periodical "Palooka Ville." About the author and other contributors Seth is considered one of the great cartoonists of the last decade, and he is almost synonymous with the style and sensibility of Drawn and Quarterly Books. D&Q published Palooka-Ville #1 in 1991, his novel 'It's a good life, if you don't weaken' in 1996, his current series "Clyde Fans" and, as often as his busy schedule allows, issues of Palooka-Ville. Seth lives in Guelph, Ontario, with three cats, a huge collection of old records, comic books, 20th-century Canada memorabilia, and a truly very patient wife.
