The Audies
This book was recognised by the The Audies.
`An epic fantasy for modern America.' Sunday Times
`Chabon's quirky, fluent style holds no hint of condescension and is sprinkled with wry remarks that will delight the young teenager.' Daily Telegraph
`Perhaps the surest sign of "Summerland's success is how the language of Chabon's fictional universe stays with you and the way he achieves a sweet genuinely affecting ending.' Time Out
Praise for `The Yiddish Policemen's Union':
`His almost ecstatically smart and sassy new novel...Chabon is a spectacular writer...a language magician. He has you laughing out loud, applauding the fun he has with language and the way he takes the task of a writer and runs delighted rings around it.' Guardian
`Michael Chabon's brilliant new novel starts with a bang...It hums with humour. It buzzes with gags...the accumulated reading experience is one of admiration, close to awe, at the vigour of Chabon's imagination...a hilarious, antic whirl of a novel.' Sunday Times
`It makes film noir look like film blanc by comparison.' Arena
