Title: Writer Gone Pulitzer Prize Winner
Review: Chabon lost his touch. After winning the Pulitzer for Wonder Boys, he has begun to take himself to seriously. Glances at the dust covers of the two books tell the story (in less than Kavalier&#65533;s droll 600+ pages). Chabon&#65533;s portrait goes from light and genuine, to over-polished and dreary. His bio shifts from lucky kid from Pittsburgh, to &#65533;living in Berkeley, with his wife, also a novelist&#65533;&#65533; Kavalier and Clay is a slow and trite attempt to a period piece that is like watching a Charlie Chaplin movie with your eyes closed. Instead of reading this book, read Wonder one more time. If you liked Wonder, try Lit Life by Kurt Wenzel.
