@zkrisher @bookstodon @audiofiction Yiddidh — right! Thx for the correction. Wonder Boys is also very good although entirely different from these two books. Another good one is Kaaterskill Falls by his wife, Allegra Goodman.

@zkrisher @bookstodon @audiofiction It’s a fabulous book, and I still find it popping into my mind many years after reading it. If you know NYC, Chabon gets hyper-specific on locations and that adds to the impact. Another good Chabon book that’s historcal-adjacent is The Jewish Policemen’s Union. (1/4)
