Frank Miller on 9/11

So, you may not know this, but I am a huge NPR nerd. That's National Public Radio, if you didn't know, and the station in St. Louis is KWMU, 90.7 FM (www.kwmu.org). That's why I was really excited to come across the news that Frank Miller (Sin City, Dark Knight series) is going to be featured on a segment on said radio station on the 11th of this month.

That day is, of course, the fifth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Miller will be reading an essay about how the attacks changed his view of what it means to be an American, focusing on patriotism and the symbol of the American flag. The segment will air as the "This I Believe" portion of Morning Edition that Monday.

If you're a Frank Miller fan, I'd definitely say this is a must-listen show. Other people who have been featured on "This I Believe" include John MCain, Bill Gates, and Colin Powell. And if you can't listen in, you will be able to read the essay after it airs, at www.npr.org/thisibelieve .

And, if you're looking for books on 9/11, check out the new 9/11 Report graphic novel, or Art Spiegelman's In The Shadow of Two Towers.
