“Derby Dugan’s Depression Funnies” by Tom De Haven is one of my all-time favorite novels. I recommended it highly to a friend yesterday. That caused me this morning to revisit this review of the novel that I wrote for reactormag.com way back in 2010.
Two years after the review was published — 13 years ago — someone left a question in the comments, and no one answered that question, so I answered now.
It’s always a kick for me to get a response like that to some ancient comment, years later; hopefully “sarahp,” who left that question in the far-away year of 2013, will feel the same way.
