Tintin in the World - short piece from National Public Radio

#1 · Posted: 24 Dec 2007 21:04

Some of you may be interested in this short National Public Radio piece, "Tintin in the World", available at the NPR On The Media site. Mainly intended as a primer for Americans but quite well done.

That was a sort of interesting piece. I hope that it helps expose more ignorant Tintin-illiterate Americans to Tintin.

Personally I think you might have wanted to phrase that a little less harshly - along the lines of â€œintroduce Americans who have not yet read and enjoyed Tintin to the booksâ€.
Using â€œignorantâ€Â and â€œilliterateâ€ in this case may be seen to be a tad rude (although anyone who has not been introduced to a subject is, by default, ignorant of it, and I think that you are slightly misusing â€œilliterateâ€ to mean â€œun-readâ€ rather than â€œunable to readâ€).
Anyway, yes, anything which introduces the works of HergÃ© to a wider audience is a good thing.
