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

4.0

Chabon is pretentious, but way less pretentious than I expected. I really enjoyed his essays - his voice is so conversational and easy-going that I raced through them. He occasionally veers a little into "kids-these-days" territory, in the sense that I think there is far more of the kind of literature/comics out there that he wants, if he just looks for it. But I agreed with a lot of his sentiments, and I was really interested in the exploration into his Judaism and the interplay between culture/story at the end.
