Although Brian Boyd and I once agreed, rather too quickly I think, to disagree about the merits of the work of R. Crumb, I am glad about his enthusiasm for Art Spiegelman, and his catholic taste. The pantheon of Great Writers should serve to help us to recognize our contemporaries, not diminish them. As You Like It, The Marriage of Figaro, Candide, The Gambler, (this is fun... ) The Band Wagon, Desperately Seeking Susan, Chocolat, Vatel, Romeo and Juliet, Zoolander....
