Details: In the desolate no-man's-land between the camps of the Philistines and the Israelites, the bewildered giant Goliath crouches. He doesn't know what's happening to him or what he's doing there. Unlike in the Bible, Goliath in this surprising interpretation of the story is not a belligerent, brutal warrior, but a quiet, simple man who prefers to perform administrative duties in the army. The daily threats against the enemy army that he is required to make overwhelm him, and his physical size ultimately becomes his undoing. By telling the biblical story of David and Goliath from the giant's perspective, Tom Gauld not only restores his humanity but also turns our worldview on its head. Through Gauld's laconic, minimalist drawing and narrative style and his dry, wry humor, the narrative receives a fresh coat of paint not only in terms of content but also symbolically: as a puppet of the Philistine war machine, the biblical giant becomes a symbol of the absurdity of war and humanity's lust for power.
