I’d been looking forward to @bourgwick.bsky.social’s book about The Weavers. I know a lot about the Blacklists; Pete Seeger was always on PBS when I was a kid, and we sang a lot of these songs in elementary school, but I knew next to nothing about The Weavers and all the people in their circles.
I love Hate! and I hate everything else. Good to see Buddy again. We grew up together.
I was surprised how much I enjoyed this. I'd never read any of his prose and none of his comics for 20 years, but the Swamp Thing sage knocked me out way back when. An imaginative, ripping yarn. I guess it's intended as a series. I'd read another.
His massive literary novel Jerusalem is pretty different but also in some ways a variation on the theme - if you enjoyed that and the Pynchon, that's a good sign you might like Jerusalem, particularly if you also like Joyce
Great When might turn into a streaming series, BTW
