Maps and Legends: Reading and Writing Along the Borderlands by Michael Chabon

3.0

I enjoyed Michael Chabon's collection of essays. He reminded me of some writers to check out (M.R.James, Doyle's Sherlock Holmes, Howard Chaykin, D'Aulaires' Book of Norse Myth, maybe even Cormac McCarthy). I found some of the pieces rather slight (they were introductions to other books - repurposed here) but really enjoyed the slippery "Golems I Have Known" which finishes off the book.)
