In this introduction, we give a quick synopsis of the two books and talk about how Murakami got his start as a writer, as well as how he developed his unique writing style and became one of the most beloved authors of the last 50 years. 

DBS #141: Discussing The Best Non-Superhero Comics Of The 2020s Drunken Pen Writing Podcast

We begin today's cold open by complaining about awful book influencers who charge a lot of money for terrible book reviews. Then we read an excerpt from Lonesome Dove! After all that, we settle in and talk about the best non-superhero comic books of the 2020s, or at least according to a list we found. You can follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter @dpwpodcast. You can check out Caleb's work at http://www.calebjamesk.com.
