Pulitzer Prize, Fiction, 2001
It's 1939, in New York City. Joe Kavalier, a young artist who has also been trained in the art of Houdiniesque escape, has just pulled off his greatest feat: smuggling himself out of Hitler's Prague. He's looking to make big money, fast, so that he can bring his family to freedom. His cousin, Brooklyn's own Sammy Clay, is looking for a partner in creating the heroes, stories, and art for the latest novelty to hit the American dreamscape: the comic book.
Inspired by their own fantasies, fears, and dreams, Kavalier and Clay create the Escapist, the Monitor, and the otherworldly Mistress of the Night, Luna Moth, inspired by the beautiful Rosa Saks, who will become linked by powerful ties to both men. The golden age of comic books has begun, even as the shadow of Hitler falls across Europe.
The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay is a stunning novel of endless comic invention and unforgettable characters, written in the exhilarating prose that has led critics to compare Michael Chabon to Cheever and Nabokov. In Joe Kavalier, Chabon has created a hero for the century.
©2012 Brilliance Audio, Inc.
"Michael Chabon can write like a magical spider, effortlessly spinning out elaborate webs of words that ensnare the reader with their beauty and their style." (Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times)
"Great book! Great listen!"
Maybe, I don't tend to re-read anything.
Just following the characters through life. Being happy for them and sad with them and even disappointed in their decisions.
Sam and Joe were equally enjoyable. I really felt myself rooting for them to succeed.
This book made me laugh and cry.
A great book and a great narration. It was long so it lasted awhile but not boring. The information about the comic books was interesting too. I was hesitant to download because I'm not a comic book fan, but Im so glad I did this book was about so much more. I did have to make sure I was paying attention or else I would get lost and miss transitions.
i like to read. i like to listen.
"Long, Tough Read. Too Much Information."
i had a tough time with this book. michael chabon has an interesting way of writing...complex and well researched and very detailed. but sometimes i think this is too much. sometimes his research is too much. i feel like there's just so much information on a certain subject that i need to read about when i'm in a novel. sometimes i just want the story....not the facts behind it. do you know what i mean?
i loved the characters in this book. i think chabon creates the best, most interesting, likeable characters. they have faults, but they are so real...both Sam and Joe were perfectly written. exactly what and who i wanted them to be. but the book gets so muddled, and i feel like the characters never go anywhere...in their growth as people, in their beliefs, in their relationships. i needed more.
i was talking to another reader, and she quipped that "maybe reading one book by Chabon is great, the next becomes a trial!" -- but i agree with her. i think when i read Telegraph Avenue, i was blown away by the newness of chabon's manner of writing...i was surprised and excited by the facts and histories of every single person and area and theme that he introduced into the story. but moving onto this novel...(i know i went backwards)...i got overloaded by it. too much info, chabon. maybe one is enough. i should have quit while he was ahead!
"I'm so sorry it's over!"
I loved being in Kavalier & Clay's world. David Colacci's reading captures it perfectly. What a great, great book!
"Chabon Magic"
I would. Michael Chabon's writing is highly descriptive, evocative and complex with long sentences demanding a fair amount of grammatical agility on the part of the reader. This is why the audio edition is so good. Narration enables the reader to understand the tapestry of words without the effort involved in the reading process. Since this is a fairly long novel, with multiple character structures and a diverse plot, audio is a superb method of appreciating this piece of fiction.
With that, I would recommend alongside the audio, a text version, say in kindle or ebook format so as to enable the reader to refer back when he/she wishes and to read sections when audio is neither available or appropriate.
Creative original story, with strains of Jewish American culture presented in a very unique form compared to trends in the genre.
It was very good however, I was not always happy about accents - but this is minor. It was professional and engaging.
It would have to be Sammy. While Joe is mysterious, we know him from the book. Sammy evokes empathy and a need to understand. Something is still left unsolved and poignant with this character, which is in fact one of the wonderful features of the book and its final chapters.
I have read comments by readers regarding Chabon, may of whom have difficulty getting past the first chapters of his books; others who can't find the plot for the words. Michael Chabon is a huge persona on the stage of modern novelists. He is a master of words and verbal tapestry. Audiobooks are actually the finest method of fully appreciating his work.
"Wonderful novel from one of America's best writers"
Not likely-- I tend not to reread books, even excellent ones like this.
Chabon's writing is often picaresque and wildly imaginative and original, while at the same time being thoughtful, timely, and moving. It reminds me of other prolific and inventive stylists like Melville (in "Moby Dick"), Rabelais, Dickens, and Shakespeare, though not exactly like any of them.
Sammy-- because his story was so poignant and because, in his ability to dream up new fictions, he seemed a bit like Chabon's own alter ego.
I wouldn't-- the title is perfect.
I've read and enjoyed a number of Chabon's other works, but this one especially puts him in the first rank of novelists working in America today. The writing is so inventive and rich, so original and entertaining, that I was constantly amazed by the novel's style, even as I appreciated its plot, characters, and relevance to American history.
"Well-written, well-narrated!"
The narrator did an excellent job of using different accents and voices to differentiate the characters. The accents were believable, as were the voices, whether they be the hardened Czech man who returns from war, to the young 12 year old boy, to his sweet mother.
Slight silly, mostly mellow, little lady.
"A great read! The comics come alive in your mind!"
Definitely the descriptions of the comic books. Chabon's writing was so descriptive that I had no problem completely seeing the comic book panels/stories and characters he described. It was great!
He is a top-notch narrator! I was very impressed with his voice work and I loved how identifiable each character was. He gave the entire book the perfect rhythm.
I highly recommend this to anyone with an interest in WWII, Comic Books, Jewish culture/history, Art, or pretty much anything else. It's just a really good book and I felt great after reading it. It's hard to believe there is a person out there who won't like it. :-)
"Surprise Hit of the Year"
Our book club picked this out of a hat because no one could decide which of our list was a majority favorite - and we ALL loved it. It's a story about the comic book industry, being different in the 40's, life as a Jewish holocaust survivor (and the guilt) and it's just the perfect storm of great characters, great writing, angst, and hope with the best fun surprises thrown in. I hope my next Chabon book is this great because after this one I'm willing to read more of his work!
"Powerful story, a great read."
The people, the setting, the time, the comic books were all engaging characters in this story. All complemented and enhanced each other. I have no particular interest in comic books, but loved the book anyhow.
The forgiveness, love and acceptance when Joe finally came home.
I highly recommend this book!
Say something about yourself!
"Not Super but still Amazing"
As a Superman fan, I had very high expectations for this novel, and, while it didn't meet them, I enjoyed this novel on its own terms. The characters of Kavalier and Clay are compelling, and the fantasy world of the Golden Era of comics is a good framework for drama. The only drawback is Colacci's "voices" which distract from the story - Clay's New York accent, and Kavalier's Czech accent are ridiculous and laughable.

The recent WWE tour of Japan had a lot of positives but there were a lot of complaints about the advertising for the events. Although this happens often in the United States, changes to live event cards in Japan is considered a very big deal. WWE had been advertising a Rey Mysterio vs. Daniel Bryan match that never took place. Many fans and even the promoters were ticked off that the match was advertised but never happened.
Speaking of Japan, there were many people in the Japanese wrestling industry who had no idea that John Laurinaitis had recently lost a lot of his real-life backstage duties within WWE. Many promoters and management people from Japan were pitching ideas to him about how the promotion could better serve the Japanese territory. Several promoters pitched ideas, including how WWE could support their territory by sending American wrestlers over there to work a full-time schedule while also signing top Japanese talents and putting them on TV. As of right now, there appears to be little interest on WWE's part.

Subject: Daniel – One of Your Favorites!
Location: Hawthorne, CA
January 23, 2014 12:22 pm
Hi Daniel,
We are happy to hear you enjoyed the photos of the Monarch Butterfly eclosion. It did delay my culinary diversion just a bit, as I went out to witness the event when Marty stuck his head in the door to tell me it had begun! It's worth it, though. It's not the first we've witnessed but it never gets old.
Yesterday this beautiful little dragonfly patiently sat for a photo session. I know dragonfly identification isn't one of your favorite pastimes, but am hoping that maybe you've seen and id'd one of these in past.
Signature: Thanks, Anna Carreon
Hi Anna,
We actually identified what we believe to be a female Variegated Meadowhawk several hours ago, but chores around the house superseded creating a new posting. You can compare your individual to the images posted to BugGuide here and here.

Seth G Meehan
Buy For The Steeze Button
First off, I shall discuss the look of the pants. I get constant praise for these bad boys. I have the purple colour and I wear them with a lime green jacket. I am 6'2" and wear a size XL so they are pretty baggy. Usually this would cause you to tred on the bottoms, not with the Steeze Button ¨Ï (Me) There is a drawstring in each pocket that pulls up the bottom. Excellent.
As far as the waterproofing and breathability, I cannot complain. I have had them in all conditions except backcountry and they have been the nuts.

Warner Music Nashville Names Wes Vause Senior Vice President, Publicity
Warner Music Nashville (WMN), the Nashville-based recorded music operation of Warner Music Group, today announced the appointment of Wes Vause to Senior Vice President, Publicity, WMN.

Vause has also been instrumental in the success of Grammy Award-winning country artist Miranda Lambert, among many others.
Prior to Sony, Vause held positions at Asylum and Polydor Records. Vause is a member of the Country Music Association, as well as the Academy of Country Music, and is an alumnus of Leadership Music, Class of 2010. Vause graduated from Belmont University with a degree in Music Business, and currently resides in Nashville, TN.

The Dubai-based developer has confirmed that it will be using some of the funds given by the government to repay its debtors.
May 28, 2009 12:07 by Aarti Nagraj
The global financial crisis has hit Dubai hard, with the real estate sector bearing the brunt of its effect. In February this year, the Dubai government sold $10 billion worth of bonds to the UAE central bank to raise funds to support state- affiliated companies. During the World Economic Forum earlier this month, the Dubai Department of Finance confirmed that it has distributed over half of the $10 billion, and hopes to raise another $10 billion by the end of the year.
"We realized that the markets would be tight for some of our key players. The bond program is to support the government related entities, since it is tough for corporates to raise money and easier for the sovereigns," Nasser Al Shaikh, the former director general of the finance department said at the time.
However, he also said that the companies would have to make tough calls. "This is important because it is borrowed money and we need to ensure it can be repaid," he said.
With the government's funds in hand, Nakheel is likely to settle its large debts with contractors; but will it be enough? The developer suspended several of its projects, including the Trump International Hotel and Tower, its one kilometer tall tower – the Nakheel Harbour & Tower – and the Worlds of Discovery theme park project.
An improvement in the current economic situation, along with the recovery of the real estate scenario in Dubai may be vital for the developer to get back on track.

Hey guys,
When I first started at Microsoft 8 years ago, I was an awful presenter. I hardly made any eye contact and I spoke really, really, really fast. Over the years, I've had some training by some really good instructors and gotten a lot of practice. Now I like to think of speaking as one of my strong points.
Mentally, I've been keeping a little list of tips and tricks – many of which have come from fellow speakers – that have helped me. I thought I would share some of them in this post. A lot has to do with doing technical demos since I feel like that is one of my strong points in any presentation I do.
Make sure the audience can see what you're doing
It can be really hard for an audience to see things on the screen when you're doing a demo; particularly in a complicated user interface like Visual Studio. There are some things you can do, and utilities that you can use to help them out.
Try the following from Tools -> Options in Visual Studio
Keep things snappy
Performance is always important for any demo that you might do. It goes without saying to get a machine with as much RAM and CPU horsepower as possible; here are some of my other favorite tips.
Slow Down!
This is something that I use to really, really struggle with - trying to slow down my speaking pace. What I've found is that I can't just tell myself to slow down. What I try to do is concentrate on maintaining my volume from end-to-end when I'm presenting. One thing I'll notice when I'm speaking quickly is that my voice tends to trail off at the end of a sentence. This is usually because I've used one breath for the entire sentence and by the time I get to the end of that sentence, I've run out. Using one breath for a sentence like that is usually a sign for me that I'm going too fast. So, I concentrate on making sure I take a breath somewhere in the middle so that I can finish strong. To get that breath in, I'll need to pause somewhere between my words. With some practice, I've been able to take a quick breath and still sound like I'm speaking naturally. That has really helped me slow down. I'm still a fast speaker, and I probably always will be, but what I've found with trying to breath better is that I can make myself easier to understand.
A funny thing to keep in mind is that I think that no matter how experienced of a speaker you are, there is some inaccuracy in how you perceive yourself and how your audience perceives you. This is particularly true for pace. What tends to happen is that when you're trying to slow down your pace a bit on stage, your brain will tell you that you're speaking way too slowly and that you sound like an idiot. In reality, you sound perfectly normal to your audience. This is where video tape comes in handy. What I've done in the past is record myself speaking at various speeds. I'll go really, really slow; so slow that I can barely take it and then go watch myself on tape. What I've noticed is that you can go really, really really slow and feel awkward doing it, but it looks and sound perfectly normal. I didn't have to do this too many times before I got a better at gauging my actual pace versus my perceived pace.
All that said, the last thing you want to do is stretch out every single word and put your audience to sleep. Varying your pace is always good and makes you sound (and be) much more a genuine speaker. If you're excited about something, let yourself speak a bit faster, a bit louder. Just be sure to slow down now and again when you wanto make a point or do a re-sync with the audience.
Enjoy Yourself
We're lucky to be in an industry that is driven by so much passion. If you've taken the time to put together a presentation, take the time to enjoy delivering it. No matter how badly you think you did, chances are it wasn't that bad. Chances are, you did a good job. In almost all cases, your audience wants you to succeed – so if you meet them 1/2 way, you'll have done a nice job more times than not.
Anyways, just some thoughts I wanted to share.

About Sassan Filsoof
Artist's Bio:
Sassan Filsoof has experience as a graphic designer, illustrator and animator currently residing in Enderby, Canada.
Sassan Filsoof was first formally trained as an industrial designer, then classical animator, but has always had a strong affinity towards graphics and drawing. After running two successful businesses, he has returned to his passion: �art for a cause�
And currently works from his small acerage studio in BC, together with his wife and variety of animals.
He draws inspiration from the social and environmental world around him; anything from street art, to the wonders of nature and the animals he admires. In 2010 he founded Graphics For a Cause. His designs are meant to give a �voice� to the voiceless, and to provoke thought, conversation, and hopefully action. As Sassan puts it:
� my goal is to challenge the �status quo�, and shine a light on issues our society sometimes would rather not face. The way I see it, for real change to happen, each one of us is responsible for doing our part, no matter how insignificant it may seem. When the others �get it� only then you know collectively �we� have made a difference�. The artist is nothing without the gift, but the gift is nothing if there is no message.�
Sassan works in a combination of digital and traditional mediums often merging the two. He is constantly looking at ways of exploring new approaches and applications. It�s a constant challenge to keep his work fresh and provocative, by looking at things in new and orignal ways.

13th Congressional incumbent John Conyers arrives at his campaign headquarters in Detroit to wait with his supporters for the results of the primary's for the 4th Congressional seat on Tuesday, August 5, 2014. Romain Blanquart/ Detroit Free Press / Romain Blanquart/ Detroit Free Press
John Conyers thanks his supporters after declaring victory at his campaign headquarters in Detroit on Tuesday. / Romain Blanquart/ Detroit Free Press
The pending retirement of U.S. Rep. John Dingell means U.S. Rep. John Conyers is poised to become the dean of the U.S. House of Representatives after fending off a primary challenge Tuesday.
The Rev. Horace Sheffield III, a pastor and community activist who nearly succeeded in getting Conyers bounced from the ballot, came up short after a hard-fought campaign.
With all 432 precincts reporting, Conyers won with 74% of the vote, compared to 26% for Sheffield.
Conyers said the drama surrounding the ballot issue did nothing to derail the issues at hand. He wants to continue the work hes doing, and work to make sure more Democrats attain office in Congress.
I made a determination to campaign on what Ive accomplished and what Im working on, Conyers said Tuesday night from his campaign headquarters on Woodward.
The struggle goes on, he said.
Conyers, 85, an attorney who is the ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, was first elected to Congress in 1964 and has twice run unsuccessfully for mayor of Detroit.
Sheffield, 59, a former member of the board of Detroit Public Schools, is pastor of New Destiny Christian Fellowship Church and has served as a TV talk show host, among other roles.
Sheffield sought to criticize Conyers while treating him with the respect many in the community feel Conyers has earned by serving Detroit voters for more than a generation.
The congressman obviously has not been able to attend to all of the constituent needs and the things municipalities want, in a reshaped district that now includes Downriver and western Wayne County communities, Sheffield said.
Ive known Conyers all my life, said Shirley Ruffin, a Detroit social worker who voted for Sheffield. Hes an older guy now, and I think we should have some change.
Ronald Johnson, 27, of Detroit, who served in the Mideast with the U.S. Navy, said Sheffield has better ideas to help young people and veterans.
On Sunday, Conyers walked Detroits historic Rosedale Park neighborhood and they were running out of the houses to see him, Johnson said.
Sheffield has yet to filed a campaign finance report, as required by law, and has other baggage, including a pending domestic abuse misdemeanor charge arising from a January incident involving his ex-wife.
Conyers biggest legal trouble was getting knocked off the ballot by elections officials for using petition circulators who were either not registered to vote or who did not live in the district both requirements of state law. But federal courts reversed those requirements as unconstitutional.
Sheffield challenged the validity of the signatures but later said he was glad Conyers remained on the ballot.
Conyers wasnt able to cast a vote for himself Tuesday because redistricting has moved his longtime residence into the 14th District, from the 13th District he represents. A few of Conyers longtime neighbors showed up at the polls expecting to vote for Conyers and were surprised and confused that his name wasnt on their ballot, spokesman Ron Scott said.
The winner of the Tuesday primary election will face Republican Jeff Gorman of Garden City.
Dingell, of Dearborn, who retires at the end of this year, was first elected to Congress in 1955.
Conyers was quick to dismiss talk of retirement Tuesday night.
Whats that? he asked. When youre in the midst of an unfinished battle I dont think of it.

The bags are marketed to auto repair and body shops as the real deal, industry officials said. Auto dealerships that operate their own body shops are usually required by their franchise agreements to buy their parts, including airbags, directly from automakers and therefore are unlikely to have installed counterfeit bags, industry officials said.
But only 37 percent of auto dealers have their own body shops, according to the automobile dealers association. Many consumers whose vehicles have been damaged are referred by their insurance companies to auto body shops that aren't affiliated with an automaker.
Consumers who bought replacement airbags online or who have purchased a used car that may have its airbags replaced in the past three years were also asked to check NHTSA's list.
Counterfeiting of a wide variety of auto parts has long been a well-known problem, industry officials said. But recent incidents have escalated concern by government officials. In August, federal agents confiscated nearly 1,600 counterfeit airbags and arrested a North Carolina auto mechanic, according to a report by the Charlotte Observer. The mechanic was tied by federal officials to another counterfeit airbag case last year in Tennessee, the report said.
Dai Zhensong, a Chinese citizen, pleaded guilty and was sentenced in federal court in Chattanooga, Tenn., last February to 37 months in prison for trafficking in counterfeit airbags, according to a statement made at the time by the U.S. Attorney's Office.
Zhensong was a part owner and manager of the international department of Guangzhou Auto Parts, which made a variety of auto parts, many of which were counterfeit, the statement said. In 2010, he traveled from China to Chattanooga to sell additional counterfeit airbags and other auto parts.
The counterfeit airbags were manufactured by purchasing genuine auto airbags that were torn down and used to make molds to produce the counterfeit bags. Trademark emblems were purchased through Honda, Toyota, Audi, BMW and other dealerships located in China and affixed to the counterfeit airbags. The airbags were advertised on the Guangzhou Auto Parts website and sold for approximately $50 to $70 each, far below the value of an authentic airbag, the statement said.
About 2,500 counterfeit airbags have been seized by law enforcement authorities so far this year, John Morton, director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, told reporters. Investigations are under way in several locations around the country, and further arrests and seizures are expected, he said.
