Martin Rowson’s “The Coalition” Christmas Talk

“When you’ve got a vicious bunch of cut throats in power you need a cartoonist who is up for the evisceration. Rowson’s your man.” – Mark Thomas

After the historic General Election of 2010, Britain ended up with a Tory-Lib Dem coalition government. While the media has reported on its highs and lows, no one has captured the cabinet’s actions better than Martin Rowson, who has been documenting his own version of events in cartoons for The Guardian, The Mirror, The Morning Star and other publications. ‘The Coalition Book’ collects his best, most brutally funny and visceral cartoons from the last four years.

One of Britain’s best-loved cartoonists, Martin Rowson has contributed regularly to The Guardian, Daily Mirror, The Times, The Spectator, Time Out, The New Statesman and many other publications. He is also the author of several graphic novels including adaptations of The Wasteland, Gulliver’s Travels, and Tristam Shandy (SelfMadeHero). His prose books include The Dog Allusion: Gods Pets and How to be Human, and the memoir Stuff. He lives in London.
