The world of Michael Chabon comes alive in the first full-length,
analytical guide devoted to this brilliantly creative writer.
Pulitzer Prize-winning author Michael Chabon is considered one of
the most distinguished contemporary American novelists. Reading
Michael Chabon, the first full-length volume on the writer, views
his career as bridging the gap between literary and popular
culture. Designed for book club members and high school and college
students, this reference guide will help readers keep track of
Chabon's intricate plots and draw thematic connections between and
among his major novels. It will also help them understand his
fiction as cultural commentary on contemporary masculinity and
Jewish identity. The book treats both Chabon's life and work,
including film adaptations of his novels, his love affair with
comics, and his forays into detective and adventure fiction. A
chapter is dedicated to each of his major novels, including
Mysteries of Pittsburgh, Wonder Boys, The Amazing Adventures of
Kavalier and Clay, and The Yiddish Policemen's Union.
