From a limited run, second risograph printing of 1000 copies. Life is a combination of magic and pasta. —Federico Fellini An attractive and whimsical salute to pasta and gnocchi by a pair of talented German cartoonists. Diverting and distinctly non-practical, the illustrations here imagine a world where pasta is personified and playful, pleasure-seeking and impetuous. You’ll never cook from this book, but along with the illustrators, you will recall “the countless times a dark day was brightening by a plate of noodles.” 21x26cm. 28 pages. Coil binding. Risoprinted in yellow, black, orange and aqua. Silkscreen-printed cover on grey carton. Yellow ribbon marker.

• Binding: Hardcover
