Gentlemen of the Road by Michael Chabon

5.0

Awesome. Exciting, confusing, funny. There's a sort of antiquity to it that I think'll probably either delight or annoy, depending on the reader--kind of like Marias' Voyage Along the Horizon. Very much a part of Chabon's move away from the American naturalism of his own earlier works, in favor of the "thrilling tale." He writes in his afterword that he was originally going to call it Jews With Swords.

P.S. If vocab is the sole reason you couldn't get into either this or Yiddish Policemen's Union, you're officially a wuss. They're called context clues, yo.
