Reviews
"The depth of Chabon's thought, his sharp language, his inventiveness, and his ambition make this a novel of towering achievement." --The New York Times Book Review "I'm not sure what the exact definition of a 'great American novel' is, but I'm pretty sure that Michael Chabon's sprawling, idiosyncratic, and wrenching new book is one." -- New York "The themes are masterfully explored, leaving the book's sense of humor intact and characters so tightly developed they could walk off the page." -- Newsweek "A page-turner in the most expansive sense of the word: its gripping plot pushes readers forward. . . . Chabon is a reader's writer, with sentences so cozy they'll wrap you up and kiss you goodnight." --Chicago Tribune, PraisegMichael Chabon About Wonder Boys "Mr. Chabon is that rare thing, an intelligent lyrical writer." -The New York Times Book Review "The young star of American letters . . . a writer not only of rare skill and wit but of self-evident and immensely appealing generosity." -Jonathan Yardley, The Washington Post Book World "Wonder Boys caught me up and carried me along like some kind of flying carpet. . . . Michael Chabon keeps us wide awake and reading." -Alan Cheuse, All Things Considered, National Public Radio "[A] beguiling and wickedly smart novel." -Richard Eder, Los Angeles Times Book Review About Werewolves in Their Youth "A loving craftsman and the author of superb, seemingly alchemically rendered sentences, Chabon has been producing pitch-perfect, at times even dazzling, fiction." -Michael Carroll, Los Angeles Times Book Review

A young escape artist and budding magician named Joe Kavalier arrives on the doorstep of his cousin, Sammy Clay.

He finds the ideal partner in the aloof, artistically gifted Joe, and together they embark on an adventure that takes them deep into the heart of Manhattan, and the heart of old-fashioned American ambition. From the shared fears, dreams, and desires of two teenage boys, they spin comic book tales of the heroic, fascist-fighting Escapist and the beautiful, mysterious Luna Moth, otherworldly mistress of the night. Climbing from the streets of Brooklyn to the top of the Empire State Building, Joe and Sammy carve out lives, and careers, as vivid as cyan and magenta ink. Spanning continents and eras, this superb book by one of America's finest writers remains one of the defining novels of our modern American age.
