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
