Wonder Boys

Wonder Boys
- Used Book in Good Condition
A modern classic, now in a welcome new edition, Wonder Boys 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 Gradyâ€™s student, James Leer, a budding writer obsessed with Hollywood self-destruction and struggling with his own searching heart. All those who love Michael Chabonâ€™s The Yiddish Policemenâ€™s Union and his Pulitzer Prize-winning The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay will find the same elegant imagination, bold humor, and undeniable warmth at work in Wonder Boys.

â€œ[A] wise, wildly funny story . . . Chabon is a flat-out wonderful writerâ€“ evocative and inventive, pointed and poignant.â€
â€“Chicago Tribune

â€œWhether making us laugh or making us feel the breathtaking impermanence of things, Michael Chabon keeps us wide awake and reading.â€
â€“All Things Considered

â€œBeguiling and wickedly smart . . . There is first-rate satirical farce in Chabonâ€™s novel but essentially it is something rarer: satirical comedy.â€
â€“Los Angeles Times Book Review
