The enthralling debut from bestselling novelist Michael Chabon is a penetrating narrative of complex friendships, father-son conflicts, and the awakening of a young man's sexual identity. Chabon masterfully renders the funny, tender, and captivating first-person narrative of Art Bechstein, whose confusion and heartache echo the tones of literary forebears like <em>The Catcher in the Rye</em>'s Holden Caulfield and <em>The Great Gatsby</em>'s Nick Carraway<em>. The Mysteries of Pittsburgh </em>incontrovertibly established Chabon as a powerful force in contemporary fiction, even before his PulitzerPrize-winning novel <em>The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay </em>set the literary world spinning. An unforgettable story of coming of age in America, it is also an essential milestone in the movement of American fiction, from a novelist who has become one of the most important and enduring voices of this generation.<em> </em><br><br><b>Author:</b> Michael Chabon<br><b>Publisher:</b> Harper Perennial<br><b>Published:</b> 06/13/2016<br><b>Pages:</b> 320<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.66lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.80d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780062165879<p></p>
