The perfect gift—in any amount—with that personal touch of classic old world charm.
From The Mysteries of Pittsburgh in 1988 on up through The Yiddish Policeman's Union in 2007, with five other novels and a few short-story collections along the way, Michael Chabon has become one of the most acclaimed fiction writers at work today—and one of the most enduringly popular. Elliott Bay has enjoyed presenting him many a-time along the way, and we are delighted to be helping do so again for a big new book of non-fiction writing, Manhood for Amateurs: The Pleasures and Regrets of a Husband, Father, and Son (HarperCollins). "An entertaining omnibus of opinionated essays spotlights novelist Chabon's model of being an attentive, honest father and a fairly observant Jew. Living in Berkeley, raising four children with his wife, Ayelet Waldman, Chabon, at 45, revisits his own years growing up in the 1970s with a mixture of rue and relief ... Candid, warm and humorous, Chabon's essays display his habitual attention to craft." - Publishers Weekly. Michael Chabon will also be appearing in Seattle Arts & Lectures' 2009-10 Literary Lecture Series on March 9, 2010 at Benaroya Hall (see www.lectures.org). Please note: some early listings announced this reading for Friday evening, October 16 at the Seattle Public Library. For scheduling reasons, it is at Elliott Bay at 5 p.m.
