      Samuel Delany's booklist: http://bigother.com/2012/07/30/for-big-other-on-william-h-gasss-birthday-by-samuel-r-delany/ … (I'm sure @MiriMarkow will let this one slide.)

      @matthunte @MiriMarkow Not a bad list (only disagreement is the comic books-- for some reason Delany has middlebrow taste in those).

      @HeerJeet @matthunte @MiriMarkow Attacking a science fiction writer for his taste in comics seems to miss the virtue of genre.

      @JeffSharlet @matthunte @MiriMarkow No, but the fiction Delany likes is all high-modernist & challenging. Comics, not so much so.

      @HeerJeet @matthunte @MiriMarkow Made me wonder what I'd missed in From Hell. In general I think Alan Moore is very overrated.

      @JeffSharlet @matthunte @MiriMarkow I just think SRD is less demanding reader of comics than fiction or poetry.

      @HeerJeet @matthunte @MiriMarkow Probably true. But what does it mean to be a demanding reader of comics? Not same as fiction & poetry.

      @JeffSharlet @matthunte @MiriMarkow Well, there are formalist comics (like, say Ware) analogous to formalist writing SRD likes.

      @HeerJeet @matthunte @MiriMarkow Right -- but I think formalist comics are pale copies. Whereas many pulp comics are their own creature.

      @JeffSharlet @matthunte @MiriMarkow No, formalist comics investigate specific language of comics, doing what can't be done in other mediums

          @HeerJeet @matthunte @MiriMarkow Sure -- but "doing what can't be done in other mediums" is a secondary concern.

          @JeffSharlet @matthunte @MiriMarkow Disagree. Like Clement Greenberg I think such formalist investigation is the heart of any medium

          @HeerJeet @matthunte @MiriMarkow I would describe Sacco's Footnotes in Gaza, for instance, only as doing what can be done.
