#FictionNonfictionPairings While not specifically based on the lives of Superman creators Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, Chabon's Kavalier and Clay certainly share some key career points with them. Jones' telling of the early days of comics is the kind of non-fiction that reads like a wonderful novel and is a book I often recommend.
