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

2.0

I have to admit it was a bit of a chore reading this book. If this had been a novel I would have given up on it long ago, but I kept reading because I kept hoping that other essays further in the book would interest me. Sadly, this didn't happen. I'm not saying this is a bad book or a badly written one, it's just that literally none of the essay topics interested me in the slightest. I don't like short stories, science fiction, His Dark Materials or Cormac McCarthy. I am not interested in Judaism or what it's like to be a writer. I also like a good dose of humor in my essays, but sadly I couldn't detect any here.
