It's Superman

I just finished Tom De Haven's novel It's Superman last night. A very wonderful book that re-tells the story of Superman in a more realistic 1930's America full of race problems, union battles and changing roles for women. This Clark Kent is a young, naive farmboy and who constantly spells things wrong and gets his facts muddled. But he's also earnest and compassionate and quickly learning to become something closer to the Superman most of us know.

I had heard of Tom De Haven before and knew he had written about comics in his Dugan series, but hadn't ever read any of his work before. Then I heard the CGS crew interview
him and was intrigued enough to pick his Superman book up. Now I'd really like to go back and read some of his other books.
