“I think his best is the Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, which also has Jewish themes. It's a much longer, deeper book than this...no less funny tho. His characters in the other book are two Jewish cartoonists, one with a big Houdini thing going on. Chabon was on NPR today talking about his latest book, and he seems like the nicest guy....the process he describes while writing is pretty encouraging for anyone (me) with fantasies in that direction. Wonder Boys is pretty terrific too, and very funny. I read Mysteries of Pittsburgh, but I don't remember much about it. ”
