Michael Chabon Books

1. The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay4.00 out of 5.00 stars
By: Michael Chabon
Publisher: Brilliance Audio on CD Lib Ed
January 03, 2005

Ugh, this is the type of book that frustrates me. It had so much promise: interesting characters, a dramatic family crisis, even a realistic and unconventional female love interest. I guess I was expecting it to be about two cousins taking on the industry that was ripping them off; you know, more New York stick-it-to-the-man type plots. Instead it kept going off on strange tangents and yet never... more

2. The Yiddish Policemen's Union: A Novel (P.S.)3.50 out of 5.00 stars
By: Michael Chabon
Publisher: Harper Perennial
April 29, 2008

I enjoyed this book a lot. Chabon is a great writer. His anti-hero in this book, Meyer Landsman is a not-quite-typical gumshoe detective, addicted to plum brandy and solving crimes and wrestling with the failure of his marriage. What's not to love? His sidekick, half-cousin Berko is also his partner and is also half Indian, half Jewish. And just as they begin working the case of Landsman's murdered... more

4. The Partly Cloudy Patriot4.00 out of 5.00 stars
By: Sarah Vowell, They Might Be Giants
Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio
October 01, 2003

I knew Sarah Vowell's voice and style from episodes of This American Life on NPR. However, I picked up this book knowing nothing about it, just on a recommendation from a friend. It took me a few essays in to really start to get into it, but once I did I was hooked.

Sarah Vowell's writing is both precise and conversational at the same time. I found myself devouring essays about political... more

By: Michael Chabon
Publisher: Random House Inc.
January 01, 2008

The book tells the tale of two wandering Jew, conmen and bandits who jestingly call themselves "Gentlemen of the Road".
Zelikman - a white, thin and blond surgeon who carries a thin, sharp ,oversized bloodletting instrument as a sword, using his academic knowledge to his enemies misfortune and who is traumatized from watching his family slaughtered during the pogrom.

6. Wonder Boys: A Novel4.50 out of 5.00 stars
By: Michael Chabon
Publisher: Random House Trade Paperbacks
April 29, 2008

Semi Spoiler Alert ---Wonder Boys is a beautifully written funny and fun read. This is a rare combination as many beautifully written books like Oscar winning movies tell stories that are neither funny nor fun. We enter the world of the writer that has published with minor fame but mostly within a small circle of writers and academics. Grady Tripp, a professor, at a college in Pittsburgh is on his... more

7. The Mysteries of Pittsburgh4.00 out of 5.00 stars
By: Michael Chabon
Publisher: William Morrow & Co
1988-04

I'm a fan of Chabon's stuff. But I began in the middle of his oeuvre, then over time worked forwards, then backwards. So maybe this informed my reaction to this, his début.

I'm still not sure how I feel about it. I wasn't enthralled. There was a poetic grace at play...but I never felt as charmed as I'd expected I would.

Maybe the problem I had was that the characters are... more

9. The Final Solution: A Story of Detection (P.S.)3.50 out of 5.00 stars
By: Michael Chabon
Publisher: Harper Perennial
November 01, 2005

I like writing that reads. You know? Writing that transforms from letters and words into pictures that show up in my mind. Chabon seems to tell more than show.

Here's an example of a sentence that feels as if the writer isn't writing so much as he is impressing.

10. Summerland4.00 out of 5.00 stars
By: Michael Chabon
Publisher: Highbridge Audio
September 12, 2002

This book just didn't do it for me. I don't like fantasy very much to begin with, but I've really liked Chabon's other books. So I picked this up for a light summer read, and I felt like I was in the midst of a Harry Potter novel, except better-written and done by an American. I never understood all the fuss about Harry Potter, and I don't understand it about this book either.

The opening... more
