New York Times Graphic, uh, Books
The NYT has started a graphic books bestseller list.
Cue the freak outs.
Via Journalista: Everyday is like Wednesday and Comics Reporter
My favorite, and most thought out, reaction comes from Brigid Alverson at MangaBlog.
And, of course, The Beat.
The whole thing makes me chuckle, especially the book vs. novel debate. Who. cares. Really, I mean, it’s not like we’re sitting around scratching our heads going ‘what are they talking about – books? graphic books -I don’t know what that means‘. I could see if they called them graphic carrots or something but novels=books=tomes= Yay, I got to use my thesaurus today!
I don’t know about the hard numbers so I guess I just trust the NYT to get it right and the bloggers who know these things to tell me when it’s wrong. I also don’t know about when comics went ‘mainstream’ or if they even really have. It seems to me that the literary river, much like everything else, is so full of tributaries that there may not even be a mainstream anymore.
