Michael Chabon Books

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

This is one of the best books I've ever read. It's epic. Chabon's prose is at its most elegant and artful in this novel. He manages to weave so many themes and and histories into the lives of his richly portrayed characters that the reader spins in dizzy delight. Fans of comic book history and WW II history should love this book. Even if one is not a fan of either, the characters, writing and plain... more

2. Manhood for Amateurs: The Pleasures and Regrets of a Husband, Father, and Son4.00 out of 5.00 stars
By: Michael Chabon
Publisher: Harper
October 06, 2009

Michael Chabon's newest book, //Manhood for Amateurs//, is a departure for the Pulitzer Prize winner. Unlike his previous works, //Manhood for Amateurs// is not a piece of surreal fiction, but a collection of short autobiographical stories. Regardless of the new venue Chabon's ability to weave achingly wonderful and melancholy pictures with his prose remains. The subtitle of this collection is //The... more

3. 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

This was my first book by this author, and given its success, I had high expectations, also fed by the very interesting "fictional history" premise of the book. After reading (part of) this book, I am not sure I will ever get started with his other book that won the Pulitzer. Mr Chabon certainly is a very creative and (with one caveat) skilled writer.

Why did I give up after a while?... 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

5. Gentlemen of the Road: A Tale of Adventure3.50 out of 5.00 stars
By: Michael Chabon
Publisher: Del Rey
September 30, 2008

Stating in his after word that the alternative title for this work was"Jews with Swords," you can get an idea of the playfulness the author had while writing this book. Michael Chabon came highly recommended by a variety of friends, and this slim novel caught my eye while perusing the shelves at my local book store. Having never read Chabon before, my impression was of a 'serious' novelist who... more

6. Mysteries of Pittsburgh: A Novel (P.S.)4.00 out of 5.00 stars
By: Michael Chabon
Publisher: Harper Perennial
July 05, 2005

Michael Chabon's debut novel is this one THE MYSTERIES OF PITTSBURGH. Amazing, it is hard to believe it is a first novel and that Chabon was so young while writing it. This is a coming of age stories and finding one's sexuality. Art Bechstein is the protagonist and gets into a love triangle with Arthur Lecomte and Phlox Lombardi. Through in the story line concerning Cleveland Arming, and well ... more

7. 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

8. 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.

9. Maps and Legends: Reading and Writing Along the Borderlands (P.S.)4.50 out of 5.00 stars
By: Michael Chabon
Publisher: Harper Perennial
February 24, 2009

I don't read many contemporary essay collections. Often the experience is like getting the flu, and then suffering through a nasty cold chaser. Or, perhaps it's just my own bad luck. I find many of them so tedious and dull, or filled with narcissistic hyperbole (or both), each essay another predictable, cringe-filled exercise in the all too contemporary pursuit of self-aggrandizement. It's worse than... more

10. The Best American Short Stories 2005 (The Best American Series)4.00 out of 5.00 stars
From: Mariner Books
Publisher: Mariner Books
October 05, 2005

Chabon is much over-rated and he shows it with his taste for this selection. Always selected Alice Munro (yawn), the idiotic Cory Doctorow (must be a "friend" of Chabon), and several others ruins otherwise good choices of Perrotta, Lehane, McGuane, and Jones. ... more
