Musings about some of my favorite fantasy literature for young readers, comics old and new, the peculiar publishing industry, the future of books, kids today, and the writing process.
From David Denby's review of The Dark Knight in The New Yorker, on the film's pounding soundtrack: At times, the movie sounds like two excited mattresses making love in an echo chamber.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
