B: A YEAR IN PLAGUES AND PENCILS
With an introduction by Max Porter.
A drawing a day to keep the eye off the plague.
A drawing a day to keep the eye on the page.

A drawing a day to keep the eye off the plague.
A drawing a day to keep the eye on the page.
A drawing a day.
A brilliant book of daily drawings, begun at the start of the coronavirus lockdown on 19 March 2020 and still ongoing. A pencil chronicle of an extraordinary time, marked by a thoughtful, watchful artist-writer scratches on paper, a new picture every day on Twitter and Instagram, a bowl overflowing with pencil stubs...
As Max Porter (who will write the Introduction to B) has said, Edward has, with his lockdown drawings, singlehandedly made Twitter a better place'.
With his drawings, Edward has created something rich and tender, angry and sad, ingenious and generous. An author in lockdown, a blank piece of paper, a pencil and scores of people, at home, all over the world, increasingly eager to see what Edward Carey will draw and share next
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Acclaimed artist-novelist whose debut OBSERVATORY MANSIONS was sold in 15 languages and was described by John Fowles as proving the potential brilliance of the novel form'. His novel LITTLE has been widely acclaimed and sold in more than 20 territories. Born in England, he teaches at the University of Austin, Texas. Edward is currently working on his next novel, EDITH HOLLER (US: Riverhead; UK option: Gallic Books). In Japan, Sogensha have signed a short story collection of Edward's work.
