He was in turn a Fellow, Dean, and Provost of Kings College, Cambridge, and then finally the Provost of Eton, where he died a much-loved and revered figure in 1936. Michael Chabon is the author of Wonder Boys, The Mysteries of Pittsburgh, and The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, which won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction.
