Michael Chabon reading in Houston

For those of you who are Michael Chabon fans (or who may become Michael Chabon fans), you have a chance to hear him read from his newest novel in Houston on Monday, Sept. 10th. He's going to be in Houston as part of the Inprint Reading Series, which brings some amazing authors to Houston for your listening pleasure. More information about the Michael Chabon reading (and others by big names like Alice McDermott, Dave Eggers and Vikram Chandra) is available here.

Chabon's most recent book is The Yiddish Policmen's Union, which is a detective story set in a world in which Jews settled in Alaska instead of Israel after World War II. Chabon won a Pulitzer in 2001 for The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay. He also wrote The Wonder Boys, which was made into a movie starring Michael Douglas and Tobey Maguire.
