Looking For Calvin and Hobbes by Nevin Martell
Looking For Calvin and Hobbes is the story of journalist Nevin Martell's attempts to get an interview with the illusive author Bill Watterson. Martell admits early on that his quest is unlikely to succeed and moves forward with as book as if he were writing a posthumous biography. It's an interesting little read, and we do learn quite a bit of trivia about Watterson's life, but the soul of the man if missing. Ultimately, I learned what we've all know for a long time, Bill Watterson is an extraordinary talent who is also a very shy and private person. I think Watterson's work will always tell us more about him than any journalist could. It's a nice read, but not essential.
6.5/10
