MICHAEL CHABON

What to say about an author who has won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, written comic books, edited McSweeney’s, and contributed to the screenplay for Spider-Man 2? One of the leading writers of his generation, Michael Chabon (pronounced SHAY-bon, if you were wondering) burst onto the scene at age 25 with The Mysteries of Pittsburgh and has continued to enthrall readers with his deft combination of literary mastery and unabashed genre pleasures. His bestselling books include The Wonder Boys, Summerland, Werewolves in Their Youth, The Yiddish Policemen’s Union, Gentlemen of the Road, Maps and Legends, and the Pulitzer-winning The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay.
