The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay (31)

Author: Michael Chabon
Genre: Fiction

I don't think I loved this book as much as everyone else in the world seems to but I did love it. I read it at night in the ICU with my uncle while everyone else slept and it definitely wasn't hard to stay awake to. Then I read it after I came home and was heart sick. Then I read it after evenings at the funeral home. It's a long book. Did you pick up on that?

Having read three Michael Chabon books this year I'm amazed by the differences and the similarities in the three works. Without gushing too much I'll just say that it's very easy to see what he is probably our most rightfully praised contemporary American author.
