"A one-of-a-kind celebration of America's greatest comic strip--and the life lessons it can teach us--from a stellar array of writers and artists. Over the span of fifty years, Charles M. Schulz created a comic strip that is one of the indisputable glories of American popular culture--hilarious, poignant, inimitable. Some twenty years after the last strip appeared, the characters Schulz brought to life in Peanuts continue to resonate with millions of fans, their beguiling four-panel adventures and television escapades offering lessons about happiness, friendship, disappointment, childhood, and life itself. In The Peanuts Papers, thirty-three writers and artists reflect on the deeper truths of Schulz's deceptively simple comic, its impact on their lives and art and on the broader culture. These enchanting, affecting, and often quite personal essays show just how much Peanuts means to its many admirers--and the ways it invites us to ponder, in the words of Sarah Boxer, "how to survive and still be a decent human being" in an often bewildering world. Featuring essays, memoirs, poems, and two original comic strips, here is the ultimate reader's companion for every Peanuts fan."--Publisher's website.… (mehr)

There’s quite variety of contributors to this collection, so enjoyment went up and down as I read. My favorite chapter by far was the one by Gerald Early. I loved reading about Vince Guaraldi, the author’s first impressions of his music (I still need to listen to “Cast Your Fate to the Wind”) and the music he wrote for the TV specials. When I looked up Early’s bio in the back of the book, I was surprised to discover he isn’t a music writer, since he wrote so eloquently about it.
I liked the chapters drawn as comic strips and the ones that had more reminiscing than analyzing. The Jonathan Lethem poem made me want to set fire to my kindle.
I picked this up because I have fond memories about the strip and the specials, but a lot of the chapters were kind of a bummer. Written by some clearly very brainy people, but not what I was expecting. It took me a while to get through, but I’m glad I finally got to it. It does make me want to read more books about Charles M. Schulz, Peanuts, or some of the old collections again. ( )

Non mi è molto chiara la logica di un libro che raccoglie un paio di dozzine di interventi su Schulz e Peanuts che dicono quasi tutte le stesse cose: il periodo d'oro sono stati gli anni '60, Schulz era depresso e lo si vede chiaramente, Charlie Brown è il perdente che sa di esserlo, e via discorrendo. Salvo giusto gli interventi di Elissa Schappell ("Je suis Sally Brown") e Jonathan Franzen ("Due pony") che si sono finalmente allontanati dai soliti triti cliché. L'edizione epub che ho letto io, a parte avere un errore nel titolo ("Peantus"?) ha poi problemi di impaginazione: ogni tanto si apre un capoverso a caso, e vi assicuro che leggere un libro così è snervante. Anche la traduzione di Tiziana Lo Porto e Chiara Baffa non mi pare al top, con frasi tipo «Quando la tua classe aumenta di numero da sedici a ventuno bambine in tutto, la maggior parte delle quali sta buona per dodici anni, non hai scampo.» (in originale «When your entire grade ranges in size from sixteen to twenty-one girls, most of whom stay put for twelve years, no breaks are given.») oppure «Charlie Brown decide che Schroeder è completamente privo di senso dell’umorismo perché non ride a una sua battuta su Händel: “Un musicista chiede a un altro se gli va di suonare il coro dell’Hallelujah, e quello risponde: ‘Certo, lo brahm-avo!’.”» con una nota del traduttore «Reso nell’edizione italiana come Brahms.» Occhei, la traduzione originale italiana era senza senso (l'Alleluja è il brano händeliano eponimo, se cambi compositore rendi incomprensibile la battuta); ma quella NdT non è nemmeno una foglia di fico. Insomma, non ve lo consiglio. ( )

A Library of America Special Publication focused on the impact of the comic strip "Peanuts," which presents a number of essays, poems, & two comic strips. The impression for this book the critic receives is as if one is the Psychologist sitting in a chair having to listen to a sorry display of narcissism riddled characters living otherwise meaningless existence. The "Peanuts" comic strip is the Psychologist while many contributors to this book serve as the "patients." To be fair, there are a few essays that actually rise above this like Umberto Eco's essay. The poems leave much to be desired failing to come close to literary achievement. The attempt of the comic strips are somewhat amusing but still fall far short. The editor's choices of the writers is questionable as the reader finds oneself having to plow through what little tidbits which are far & few between. My preference is avoid this editor like the plague! ( )

Nearly twenty years after the death of Charles M. Schulz, in the midst and perhaps the throes of the twenty-first century, there still seems so much to say about Peanuts, the singular comic strip that occupied the artist for the greater part of his life and, through a miraculous ensemble of hand-drawn children and an independent-minded beagle, won over the world.
