...where Donald Trump can get his own reality TV series America badly needs "Hutch Owen: Unmarketable!" One of the few comic creators who daringly make art with a biased agenda, Tom Hart's roguish little conscience character makes for a stimulating acid against our base corporate culture.

...instructive to watch a literary writer operate in a genre environment, where plot and pacing trump beautiful writing, where the thrill of what comes next is more important than the nuance of the now. When Chabon gets a little flowery, instead of marveling at his elegant prose, one makes mental let's-hurry-it-up-already gestures. But he has clearly mastered a basic truth about the mystery genre:it has an expressive power beyond the uses to which it is generally put. Solving mysteries has an existential meaning for Holmes. To him, it's the "essential business of human...
