re: #1/rozk: the academic book I'll be translating has a little sum'in' to do with that.

I hope you can give me a prospectus, because that sounds neat. (I find Rozk a bit hard to follow in that interview but I am sort of jumping into the middle of a conversation.)

I keep thinking of large narrative constructs (the Odyssey, the Bhagavad Gita, Guiding Light etc) and thinking "oh, there's another contender for 'largest'" and then I realize that Action Comics alone has more story than any of those, never mind Detective Comics -- and that's just Superman and Batman respectively. It really does seem to be true, doesn't it?
