...Ruminating on this cabal, he chides his fellow men for worshiping them so: “Their names are the subject of intense debate and dining hall ranking. Worse, we’re dumb enough to let them know how hot they are.” Airy prose for the cultured: thank...
While graphic novels have educated, entertained and provoked their audience over the course of their brief history, rarely have they inspired hope.

His narrative is an exhilarating carriage ride through the ancien regime, and it remains lively through 500 pages of well-turned prose. And a readable biography was Damrosch’s goal. His main concern, he says, was to make Rousseau available to people who know nothing about him, rather than to do original research. “Reviewers and publishers make something of a fetish of ‘hitherto unpublished material...
