Book

Telegraph Avenue (2012)

Chabon is really smart and can really turn a phrase, but that was my problem with this book. It just seemed as if he were showing off to the reader how smart he is. Look at me, I'm the next James Joyce! The subject matter wasn't of much interest to me, either: trading cards and old records and bi...

Book

Manhood for Amateurs (2009)

Listened to this book on tape, since Chabon was reading it, I'm sure that added some to my enjoyment of this diverse series of essays on growing up as a son, learning to write and be a man, reflecting on his own writing and being a husband and father.Lots of topics are covered, not least of which...

Manhood for Amateurs CD: The Pleasures and Regrets of a Husband, Father, and Son (2009)

Almost 4 stars. It reads like a collection of short stories...you can skip a few chapters or stories and not miss much. I knocked it down a star because I found too many stories not worth finishing. The ones i liked, I LOVED. Insightful, humorous, poignant. He speaks as a parent, and an imperfect...

The Astonishing Secret of Awesome Man. by Michael Chabon (2011)

Engaging graphics (to some people, at least) in The Incredibles style, cute story, and it slips in a couple of messages about taking care of yourself and your needs rather than taking anger out on others. You see, Awesome Man can't just go around kicking or pushing things when he gets mad, becaus...

The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay (2001)

Eh?I have started reading The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay with certain expectations - if not great, then at least considerable. I have seen Chabon's name pop up on this site pretty often, reminding me of the fact that I have not yet read anything by him - this seemed like an obvious cho...

The Final Solution (2005)

Last summer I decided that I was going to read all of the Sherlock Holmes stories. I went to the library and found an extremely large and musty old book that contained every one of the short stories and novels. I spent the next week reading them one by one. As I got closer to the end of the book ...

Werewolves in Their Youth (2000)

These days I come to short story collections cautiously.I don’t blame the stories. It’s my own fault.Six years ago, as I was working on my Ph.D., my advisor and I decided that in order to make myself more marketable to Departments of English in various schools I should specialize in something li...

Book

A Model World and Other Stories (2005)

A series of short stories great for the train commute. The 'wtf' factor for each story is pretty high and you have to really think about what is going on or what the author is trying to say. I really liked this book for a number of reasons. As people, we have expectations for ourselves and for ...

Wonder When You'll Miss Me (2004)

My local library lists this as both adult fiction and young adult fiction, so I wasn't sure what to expect from it. Young adult novels have come a long way since the days of Sweet Valley High, but I still wanted something that would hold my attention without coming across as juvenile. "Wonder Whe...

Maps and Legends: Reading and Writing Along the Borderlands (2008)

Michael Chabon's sparkling first book of nonfiction is a love song in sixteen parts - a series of linked essays in praise of reading and writing, with subjects running from ghost stories to comic books, Sherlock Holmes to Cormac McCarthy. Throughout, Chabon energetically argues for a return to th...

The Final Solution: A Story of Detection

His gait was dreamy and he swung a daisy as he went. With each step the boy dragged his toes in the rail bed, as if measuring out his journey with careful ruled marks of his shoetops in the gravel. It was midsummer, and there was something about the black hair and pale face of the boy against the...

Summerland

The infield had been hastily raked and the outfield was patchy and weedy. It was on this very spot, the giant claimed, that Peavine's barnstorming ferishers had played a series of eighty-one games against him and his seventeen brothers (forming two squads, the Gnashers and the Thumpers, of nine g...

Book

Gentlemen of the Road

Engrossed in the study of a small ivory shatranj board with pieces of ebony and horn, and in the stew of chickpeas, carrots, dried lemons and mutton for which the caravansary was renowned, the African held the place nearest the fire, his broad back to the bird, with a view of the doors and the wi...
