This summer we start out with one of our characters escaping Nazi-occupied Prague in a coffin in 1939 for Brooklyn and the burgeoning, super-hero, comic book trade in the city, and we end the class with a character escaping Long Island for the West Coast after the 1953 US Senate hearings into the indecency of comic books. Along the way, we spend a lot of time in New York City—particularly in the Empire State Building, and we also make forays to a beach house in New Jersey and a naval base in Antarctica during WWII. The character-driven, Pulitzer Prize winning The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay is guaranteed to delight and entertain you, whether you read all 600 pages, or listen to the audio book, or do a little of both.
