About this title

Synopsis:

Just graduated from college, Art Bechstein sets out on a journey to adulthood as he comes to terms with his gangster father and encounters a variety of unusual people along the way

Review:

A strikingly accomplished debut (Sunday Times)

His style has an enviable suppleness and fluency which offers the perfect vehicle for the moral feints and shifts of the cool crowd he portrays (TLS)

Hard as it is to write about youth when you're young, Chabon has done it brilliantly (Cosmopolitan)

Mingles wit, sex and fine writing (Sunday Telegraph)

His control over his story, the wonderful use he makes of each description, of Pittsburgh itself, are often astonishing...a young writer with a tremendous skill (New York Times Book Review)
