Is Chabon legit or just Oprah-bait?

made me think

sales, idiot

Kavalier and Clay is unremarkable and bloated and it's the book that finally convinced me to ignore the Pulitzer Prize from now on. However Wonder Boys is a genuinely funny and well constructed novel. Not ground breaking at all, but entertaining.

Am I the only one here annoyed by how so much of what he writes is so relentlessly Jewish?

Best genre fiction writer of his generation, but I do really want him to write some more short stories. Werewolves in Their Youth was excellent.

I really liked all his stuff up to telegraph avenue and haven't read moon glow. Then I read the insulted Trump so I'm not going to read his stuff ever again

If you like him, you should read Moonglow, he just keeps honing his craft and distilling his themes and its pretty good.

>read book by jew called "yiddish policemen's union"
>complain about it being jewish
baka

I meant in general. YPU is the maximum peak of Jewishness as his writing goes.

I actually liked The Mysteries Of Pittsburgh -- felt like the type of book that everyone wants to write when they're a teenager, and I can recommend it on that merit alone, especially to people on this board, who seem to fall hard for nostalgia and wistfulness. It has charm but it's nothing great, and it's not even good enough to make me want to read his other stuff (gave up on Wonderboys halfway through).
