About this title

Synopsis:

Deep in the rural English countryside, an eighty-nine-year-old beekeeper--and one-time famous detective--becomes involved with nine-year-old Linus Steinman, a young refugee from Nazi Germany whose sole companion, an African grey parrot, spews out a mysterious series of German numbers that could hold the key to a dangerous secret. 75,000 first printing.

Review:

"Michael Chabon, is, simply, the coolest writer in America."--Christian Science Monitor

"A profound pleasure."--New York magazine

"A haunting novella."--Publishers Weekly

"Brilliant and unswervingly entertaining."--The Forward

"Exuberant...the real mystery is how Chabon managed to fit so much hope and humanity into such a brief tale."--BookPage

"Watching Chabon skillfully zigzag between literary and genre is half the fun of the book...refreshing."--Miami Herald

"Chabon's writing here is elegant and limber...[The Final Solution] is a little mystery story with big ideas."--San Francisco Chronicle (Best Books of 2004)

"One of the best-written American novels published this fall . . . an experiment by a master."--The New York Sun

"Delightful...and deceptively profound...Chabon shows his greatness."--Louisville Courier Journal

"The writing is everything that Chabon's fans expect--gorgeous, muscular, mildly melancholic...wonderfully executed."--Baltimore Sun
