The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & ClayThe Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay by Michael Chabon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a great, beautiful, moving book. I could find no flaws in it. It's always interesting, funny, poignant. It's a must-read book for anyone interested in comics, obviously, since it deals with the subject extensively, but also for anyone interested in such varied issues like the life before, during and after WW2; the plight of the immigrants and of those left behind in Europe; the life of women and gays in the pre-60's US; stage-magic, and underneath it all, a profound need to escape it all.

Well-researched and always on point, this is one of the books that, as a fellow writer, you just wish it was you who had written it, but are nonetheless glad that someone else did, so you can enjoy it in full.
