This academia-zine examines the storytelling traditions which came together to create Robin, and those pop figures which appeared in the years following Robin's heyday.

Any revenue I make from Boy and Girl Wonders: Robin in Cultural Context is donated to charities which help children in crisis.
There are so many things people can be that are metaphors, tricks of speech, a word to mean a mood or talent. We can be dull, blunt, hard, soft, cool, cold, hot, warm, green, blue, bright, dim, tough, smooth, slick, thorny, broken, sharp. As far as things to be made from went, the sharpest things sounded good enough to me -- better sharpest than dullest, even if it meant never being softest.
A tour diary through concert crowds, international travel, the darkest hours before dawn, music journalism, love, depression, songs, grief, and the moment when the lights go down and the audience cheers.
Any revenue I make from Sharpest is donated to suicide prevention organisations.
