'A fascinating and surprisingly gentle read, from a man famed for his venomous nib' Nick Newman, Mail on Sunday

For more than half a century, Gerald Scarfe's work has graced the Sunday Times, Evening Standard, New Yorker, Private Eye and Time. He has also been rude on the walls of the V&A and the Tate, the stages of the English National Opera and the English National Ballet, and captivated cinema audiences around the world in the form of Pink Floyd The Wall and Disney's Hercules.

In Long Drawn Out Trip, he tells his life story for the first time, taking us back to his wartime childhood and the terrible curse of asthma, through his days as an advertising draughtsman, to his field reporting in Vietnam and the giddy highs of rock 'n' roll.

It is a very personal, wickedly funny and caustically insightful account of an artist's life at the forefront of contemporary culture and society.

Gerald Scarfe began his career in the sixties working for Punch and Private Eye before taking a job as a political cartoonist for the Daily Mail. He then worked for Time magazine in New York before starting his fifty-year-long association with the Sunday Times. He drew weekly for the Evening Standard.
