Big Questions Only Graphic Novel On NYT Notable 100 Books List



The list is here; the publisher relaying the news and congratulating their author is here.

I imagine there are some comics readers out there that still have a hang-up about even this kind of list-style recognition of a comic for its literary qualities -- a kind of folded-arm "well la di da; no one will read it" performance reminiscent of the pre-major bookstore distribution 1990s -- but I would hope that even those people that don't want to read comics like Nilsen's are at the point these days where they can step and back and realize that there a lot of different kinds of comics now, and it's nice to see some of them recognized for hitting with their audience in a strong and effective fashion.

Yeah, I don't know why my mind drifted there, either.

Anyway, if you haven't had the pleasure of reading that book, it's perfect for lugging to a house of crazed family members and can probably be devoured over the course of a few holiday down periods.
