The new Chronicle of Higher Education features an essay by Alex Vernon that poses the question, "Should We Take Tarzan Seriously?"
Vernon should know; he is the author of the forthcoming ON TARZAN, the first book-length investigation of a century's worth of the Jungle King's incarnations and our varied imaginative responses to them.
Bookforum has also taken note of ON TARZAN, listing it in the "Pub Dates" section of the Sept/Oct/Nov issue.
