Alan Board Digs Kavalier

Is it possible that deep within Alan Moore’s beard lies a copy of Kavalier & Clay?

Apparently. In Bill Baker’s Alan Moore Spells It Out, released last month and based on an interview in 2002, Moore is asked what books he is reading.

“I’ll have a new favorite every couple of days, if I’m lucky, and I’m always looking for new novelists to absorb,” he says. “I’ve been quite impressed with Glen Gould’s ‘Carter Beats the Devil,’ there’s a thumping good yarn. And, of course, Michael Chabon, with ‘The Adventures of Cavalier and Clay’ [sic], very good book.”

(Many thanks to Shane Hazen for the tid-bit.)
