Via covielle: Michael Chabon in the NYTimes responds to the recent San Francisco Chronicle-reported debacle of a student expelled and a teacher fired for dealing with disturbing literature: It's a Brave New World of censorship.


On a lighter note, Jesus on his movies! (I mean come on, look what they're using as my logo!)

To nitpick, it would be Michael Chabon *in* the NYTimes, not Michael Chabon *of* the NYTimes, since as far as I know he is an author, not a newspaper columnist.

Fair enough--the friend who posted it didn't make that clear, and I have/had no idea.

Then you haven't read The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, which means that you really should. It's a great book, and it's about two fictional comic book authors in the "golden age" of comic books.

I have, in fact, never heard of that book, but will consider it. :)
