I finished this over the weekend and can confidently say it was one of my favorite books of the year, despite mainly being reprints of a column Chabon wrote for a magazine. This was especially surprising since I’m not a huge fan of Chabon’s fiction and I don’t particularly enjoy reading about what it’s like to raise children in the modern world. As I found out pretty quickly, it’s way more than just about that.
It was the type of book where you re-read sentences because you want to make sure the weight of what he’s trying to convey sinks in. Can’t recommend this enough. Snap up a copy from your local library or independent bookstore like Barnes & Noble, Borders or Walmart.
