"What I perhaps most appreciated was Kenney’s beautiful depiction of male friendship." Yes, male friendship is a wonderful, whimsical sort of thing! Its manifestation is as odd as its formation.
Sharing some writing I did on this topic before I purchase I See You’ve Called in Dead: "If friendship is addition, male friendship is linear algebra: much less intuitive and orders of magnitude more complicated. It is a strange equation made up of aggression, degradation, hostility, loyalty, competition, and love."
I appreciate you highlighting some sequential art (comic book) options for folks to read. The format is unique and allows writers and artists to tell very unique stories that would not work well in other mediums (see Alan More's Swamp Thing or Frank Miller's 300). Keep up the great work!
I am reading The Tokyo Express by Seicho Matsumoto a book in translation. I am really enjoying it because there’s snow side stories on the characters in their lives or love lives. It is a short book that is truly just about solving the crime. I think I mentioned last time that I absolutely loved I See You Called In Dead.
The book Pain Hustlers sounds terrific. At the present time, I’m re-reading Lonesome Dove, for the 4th or 5th time. The relationship between Call and McCrae calls me back each time. Just finished Make Me Commissioner by Jane Leavey, a quick but insightful read into methods to improve baseball. What intrigued me was not just seeing a problem, but offering solutions. Highly recommend both books.
