Michael Chabon's work in Kavalier & Clay is in my opinion, very good and well thought out. As I briefly stated in my last post, one very stylish writing technique Chabon uses is that he writes about new comic book heroes as if they were actual characters in the book, but when really they are just the thought process that a character has. Since my last post, several events have taken place. Joe Kavalier and Sam Clay, partners, are making it into the big time in New York City. 'The Escapist' is becoming a radio show, and a new hero, the half-bug half-woman "Luna Moth" was introduced (p. 267 - 274). I am still pondering the possible idea of the theme of identity within the two main characters. There are subtle hints here and there, but none are for sure just yet.
