Sammy was a big reader of comics that time (during 1930s, comics are pretty new) and he encouraged Josef to draw comic books. They’re actually cousins and they are aspiring artists. This book is about two guys, a Czech artist from Prague named Josef Kavalier and a writer from Brooklyn named Sam Klayman.
This book is really an adventure for me compared to other books who have a word “adventure” on their titles but doesn’t live up to its title, and of course, it talks about comic books. (I’m totally in lesbians with Morrigan Aensland). Even if I wasn’t a comic reader (DC/Marvel) when I was a kid, I was obsessed playing with DC, CapCom, and Marvel superheroes in Playstation 1/2. I felt like I was living in the world of Kavalier & Clay and I don’t want to leave it. I can’t stop thinking about this book, Joe Kavalier, Sammy Clay, and comic books. I don’t know how I will start my thoughts about this book because I don’t want to start gushing about how great his book is, but really, this book is really amazing. I was having hard time adjusting to Chabon’s narrative (I think he overused the comma or maybe that’s just me). To tell you the truth, I tried reading this book earlier last year (around March-I was supposed to bring this with me to Singapore but settled with The Eyre Affair instead) but I gave up after 3 chapters.
