Where he held this up as his "easy read" book. He said he had been criticised for being too erudite and people had said that he would sell more if he wrote easier books; then he had written Loana, which was an easy read, and it had sold less than any of the others.
And between the two this one is probably the better book.

I found his pop culture in Loana obscurer than the legends in Baudolino.

I wonder if that'd lead to people carding you when you want to check out books from the library

Don't forget the fascist-friendly elements of several of those American comics
