We recently moved to Pittsburgh and I was excited to read a book that takes place here by the super-talented Michael Chabon. In a nutshell, it's about a college grad floating through the summer after his senior year before thinking about a career. Even though I graduated from college more than 20 years ago, it took me right back to that 21-year-old perspective. I was fascinated and repelled as the narrator worked his way through a series of bad romantic choices and questionable situations, but it was a fun and different kind of read for me. This was Michael Chabon's first novel, written when he was in his twenties, but his stylistic and emotional maturity were beyond his years.
