Chabon is an amazing writer. This was the sort of book I picked up only because of its glowing reviews and not because I thought it suited my taste or had any relevance to me. Boy, was I wrong! Not about the glowing reviews, which it entirely deserves, but because it has relevance for any American or anyone who's chased a dream, pursued a goal, or been in love. And the writing is so delicious, so evocative, so concise--it's the kind of writing that makes you annoy your significant other by constantly reading choice bits aloud, and the kind of writing that, despite the annoyance, inspires your significant other to read the book as soon as you've finished it.
