About this book
The enthralling debut from bestselling novelistMichael Chabon is a penetrating narrative of complexfriendships father-son conflicts and the awakening of a young mans sexualidentity. Chabon masterfully renders the funny tender and captivating first-person narrative of Art Bechstein whose confusion and heartache echo the tones of literary forebears like The Catcher in the Ryes HoldenCaulfield and The Great Gatsbys NickCarraway. TheMysteries of Pittsburgh incontrovertibly established Chabonas a powerful force in contemporary fiction even before his PulitzerPrize-winning novel The AmazingAdventures of Kavalier & Clay set theliterary world spinning. An unforgettable story of coming of age in America itis also an essential milestone in the movement of American fiction from anovelist who has become one of the most important and enduring voices of thisgeneration.
