message 1: by Brent (new)

Brent Just saying: The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay is, well, fiction. Masterful, historical fiction, a roman a clef, but there you go. Just an asterisk... Chabon and his prefaces and essays on comics are available elsewhere, like the essay anthology Bookends, here: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

Kendall Moore Brent wrote: "Just saying: The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay is, well, fiction. Masterful, historical fiction, a roman a clef, but there you go. Just an asterisk... Chabon and his prefaces and essays on ..."

I removed Kavalier & Clay and added True Believer: The Rise and Fall of Stan Lee.
