John is starting Trudeau & Doonesbury
Not the most artful and probing of bios but a great read, made more fun by copious reprints of comic strips to help move the narrative along.

The Doonesbury of the 1970s and 1980s skewered lots of politicians and public figures who by this account were just delighted with the attention. They responded with grace and wit. We are long past those days now. Comic strips! In newspapers! How great!

Pondering whether I'll ever tackle Absalom, Absalom - the NY Times essay on Sunday (http://nyti.ms/N2QXrc) didn't exactly get me fired up to do so.
