Title: A Love Story
Review: The love abounds in this wonderful novel, but the most shining love story is Chabon's obvious love for the Golden Age greats: Siegel and Schuster, Simon and Kirby, Gil Kane, Shelly Moldoff, Joe Kubert, Will Eisner. Love for men who didn't know the art that they were making, and how they were changing the face of the world.Chabon's style is lyrical, and not strictly my cup of tea. But the passion he has for these characters and these stories leaks off the page, and absolutely pulled me in. The epic sweep of this book is always anchored by the characters that compel you to read further, and the love that wracks your heart.If you're not a comic fan, worry not. This book is for you as well. It's simply a wonderful, engaging novel, regardless of subject matter. But if you read carefully , you might learn why the Golden Age of Comics had it's luster.
