Excellent review! I loved the male friendship portrayal as well, I think Chabon succeeded big time. This one certainly set a standard for me of what a book can be. Haven’t read anything like it since.
Loved this review Jam!!! Absolutely want to read this now. As I was reading I was thinking ‘this sounds like tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow’ and felt thrilled to see you draw that comparison at the end! I thought tx3 was lacking a bit, so I would love an opportunity to read a similar style novel with a bit more meat - and this sounds like it might have it!! I know you said you’re in a writing slump but I think you nailed this xx
thank you so much for the kind words, Martha! 💕 Yes I definitely has more meat than tomorrow 3x as it tackles several issues. looking forward to read your review if you get the chance to read it.
yeyyy looking forward to when you read it, Natalie. It is very hopeful especially in the early years of creating their comics but it is also a heartbreaking book.

It’s epic. It deserves to be standard for great books.
Love it. I think about this book frequently.
I think I’ll think about this book for a long time too
