Product info

<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>A modern classic, now in a welcome new edition, <i>Wonder Boys</i> firmly established Michael Chabon as a force to be reckoned with in American fiction. At once a deft parody of the American fame factory and a piercing portrait of young and old desire, this novel introduces two unforgettable characters: Grady Tripp, a former publishing prodigy now lost in a fog of pot and passion and stalled in the midst of his endless second book, and Grady's student, James Leer, a budding writer obsessed with Hollywood self-destruction and struggling with his own searching heart. All those who love Michael Chabon's <i>The Yiddish Policemen's Union</i> and his Pulitzer Prize-winning <i>The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay</i> will find the same elegant imagination, bold humor, and undeniable warmth at work in <i>Wonder Boys</i>. <p/> "[A] wise, wildly funny story . . . Chabon is a flat-out wonderful writer- evocative and inventive, pointed and poignant."<br> <b><i>-Chicago Tribune</i></b> <p/> "Whether making us laugh or making us feel the breathtaking impermanence of things, Michael Chabon keeps us wide awake and reading."<br> <i><b>-All Things Considered</b><br> </i><br> "Beguiling and wickedly smart . . . There is first-rate satirical farce in Chabon's novel but essentially it is something rarer: satirical comedy."<br> <b><i>-Los Angeles Times Book Review</i></b><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Michael Chabon</b> is the bestselling and Pulitzer Prize-winning author of <i>The Mysteries of Pittsburgh, Wonder Boys, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, Summerland</i> (a novel for children), <i>The Final Solution, The Yiddish Policemen's Union, </i>and <i>Gentlemen of the Road, </i>as well as the short story collections <i>A Model World</i> and <i>Werewolves in Their Youth</i> and the essay collections <i>Maps and Legends</i> and <i>Manhood for Amateurs</i>. He is the chairman of the board of the MacDowell Colony. He lives in Berkeley, California, with his wife, the novelist Ayelet Waldman, and their children.
