Kunsttheorie vs. Frau Goldgruber (The Theory of Art vs. Mrs. Goldgruber) With a fondness for the absurd situations of daily life Nicolas Mahler tells subtle and humorous autobiographical stories about his short stint as a videoshop clerk, the continuous struggle to justify his profession as a comic artist to his environ-ment. Parts oft he book were published in the American anthology “Mome“ by Fantagraphics.

“That´s the best with Mahler´s anti-heroes: They are cursed by blind-fate, being ridiculed by their loved ones but they won´t mope, they just stand up to be at the bar again.“ Regula Freuler, Neue Züricher Zeitung Online

“The magic in Nicolas Mahler’s work does not exist in its impeccable writing, or in its elegant drawings, but in the strange alchemy between the two.” Lewis Trondheim

“Nicolas Mahler´s drawn Zeitgeist-satire makes fun of the things that keep culture geeks going: profound discussions, pompous theory and the aura of art... and we all laugh along.” Alexandra Kedves, Schweizer Tagesanzeiger
