> I heard about this book last year. It received a lot of press in its initial hardcover release. (Is it strange that hardcovers feel uncomfortable to read? Too unwieldy.)

Schulz is a big, big figure for me. I remember devouring Peanuts collections at the library as a child, searching for any volumes I'd missed. In retrospect, the sweet, melancholic tone was very helpful for what felt difficult and isolating in my own childhood environment. Reviews described Michaelis' work as both "honest" and "warm", which seems true of what I've read thus far.]]>
