Since the publication of his first novel, The Mysteries of
Pittsburgh, launched him to fame, Michael Chabon (b. 1963) has
become one of contemporary literature's most acclaimed novelists by
pursuing his singular vision across all boundaries of genre and
medium. A firm believer that reading even the most challenging
literature should be a fundamentally pleasurable experience, Chabon
has produced an astonishingly diverse body of work that includes
detective novels, weird tales of horror, alternate history science
fiction, and rollicking chronicles of swashbuckling adventure
alongside tender coming-of-age stories, sprawling social novels,
and narratives of intense introspection. Uniting them all is
Chabon's utterly distinct prose style--exuberant and graceful,
sometimes ironic but never cynical. His work has earned accolades
ranging from the Pulitzer Prize to science fiction's Hugo and
Nebula Awards. Conversations with Michael Chabon collects eighteen
revealing interviews with the renowned author of The Amazing
Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, The Yiddish Policemen's Union,
and other much-admired works. Spanning nearly twenty years and
drawn from science fiction fan magazines and literary journals
alike, these interviews shed new light on the central concerns of
Chabon's fiction, including the importance of dismantling the false
divide between literary and lowbrow, his evolving relationship to
Jewish culture and literature, the unique properties of male
friendship, and the complexities of race in contemporary America.
These interviews are essential reading for anyone seeking a better
understanding of the life and work of an author who has been
instrumental in defining the landscape of contemporary American
fiction.
