With just three novels and two short story collections to his name, Michael Chabon has become one of the preeminent literary authors of his generation. Winning the Pulitzer Prize in 2001 for his novel The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, Chabon confirmed the early critical response to his first novel, The Mysteries of Pittsburgh, and of his second, the wryly humorous Wonder Boys. Dubbed a "Virtuoso" by Booklist contributor Donna Seaman, and a "master stylist" by Book's James Sullivan, Chabon has achieved "a buzz most writers only dream about," according to Rex Roberts, writing in Insight on the News. Such "buzz" has made life easier at the Chabon household, where his wife, also a writer of mysteries, and he share parenting duties of their children. The versatile Chabon has, in addition to his novels, penned two short story collections, A Model World and Werewolves in Their Youth, as well as television pilots, screenplays, articles, and even a children's novel.
