I am really looking forward to "The Plot Against America" in Peanuts style

I'm totally stealing that! I was going to call Lindberg the blockhead, but Winchell even better. I think the dad is going to be calling lots of people blockheads. I think I'll have the rabbi yank the ball away from someone - the dad perhaps? Or maybe the aunt yank the ball from the dad?

Haven't read the book - have seen some good reviews. Will be very interested to see what you think.

Quick answer: I loved it!

I've been avoiding what I consider the "dick swinging" writers of the 50s (Roth, Mailer, Bellow) 'cause they sounded like a bunch of he-man assholes. But Roth's book is good - makes me want to read more.

And I'm a sucker for literary sci-fi.

Thanks! I was trying to get the style of a political cartoon from the time, but I did it from my imagination, so it doesn't look anything like late century political cartoons.

Awesome!

How does it read? I'm specifically looking to clean up my pacing and writing style - I think they need work.
