Maps and Legends: Reading and Writing Along the Borderlands by Michael Chabon
3.0
I enjoyed this - some sections more than others. Some made my eyes glaze over as I read them. I skipped the chapter on Cormac McCarthy's The Road, because I am just about to read it and didn't want to get spoiled.
I wholeheartedly agreed with his thoughts on comics today, and the lack of comics for kids, but not necessarily "kid comics". I go to the comic book store once a month or so, and I am hard pressed to find something for a 6 year old to read that isn't too lame or simple, but the next step up seems to be anything weird, dark, and violent. Too adult in language and content. It is frustrating.
