2021 Best Graphic Novels for Adults - American Library Association
"A vivid, shrewdly observed satire of fine dining... a treat from start to finish." The Guardian
"A tremendously entertaining moral fable that delights because it never quite goes where you think it will... all wrapped up in gorgeous full-colour art that is all thick lines and bold gestures." The Herald (Scotland)
"Makes the reader positively salivate." Broken Frontier
I was absolutely floored by the twists and turns in James Albon s storytelling, and his illustrations are absolutely beautiful. As a former truffle dealer and mushroom forager, I highly recommend The Delicacy for anyone who loves great comics, good food, and suspenseful stories! Helen Hollyman, Editor in Chief, Thrillist
