on “David Bowie’s Top 100 Books (2013)” ↗Huh! I’ve read pretty much all his output and loved Wonder Boys most - it is hilarious. Moonglow was also great.. I think Kavalier and Clay was my least fave.
on “Michael Chabon: How to Salvage a 'Wrecked' Novel (2010)” ↗"Mysteries of Pittsburgh" remains one of my all-time favorite novels. Got bored part way through "Wonder Boys" and never finished it. I've read a few of his others, none even a patch on "Mysteries...". Nobody's perfect :-)
on “Michael Chabon: How to Salvage a 'Wrecked' Novel (2010)” ↗It sounds like "Wonder Boys" was at least in part autobiographical as the main character there also had a huge unfinished novel that had weird details like the genealogies and dental records of horses.
