"The good news: Even unblinking, homunculus-like Republican presidential candidates, asked for their favorite novel, cite works of modern SF!
"The bad news: Mitt Romney’s professed “favorite novel” is Battlefield Earth."
I didn’t know this was wordless going into it. Wordless books pose a challenge to the critic, for all the usual dancing-about-architecture reasons, but this is sweet and lovely and expressive, so let’s see what words I can dig up that Juan Berrio didn’t need. Kiosco is a horizontally-formatted graphic novel, generally one big wide…
