A review by danodog
Wonder Boys by Michael Chabon

2.0

I believe this is loosely autobiographical in that Chabon spent 5 years on his second novel similar to Grady the main character after getting his first book published while still in College. Although his prose is up to form the problem I have with the book is that the main character Grady, although a likeable pot head sad sack, has nothing going on that should attract any women yet the story starts off with Grady getting a married woman pregnant while in his third marriage. It felt like a book for authors as there was two books that made up part of the story line alone with a publisher. Loved two of his novels (Kavalier and Yidish) but DNF Telegraph Road. May try to watch the movie one more time though.
