@avclub-df83ed4cad9fa81493f91ebed5e46b40:disqus 1. My reasoning is based entirely on the previous Chabon books I've read. 2. Yeah, I have scorn for "contemporary American literature." Heaps of scorn.

@avclub-aa7d06837991ae8da89da2c7cb0c8cf6:disqus Thank you for not calling me a garbage person this time. I mean that. I hate internet commenting and almost never do it. Honestly, I didn't come here to provoke or troll or whatever.

@avclub-7624778793b762d4744afae86485c0b8:disqus I would not devote another minute of my life on Chabon after wasting those hours on WB, K&K, and YPU—-hours I wasted, each time, at the insistence of some critic who argued for the book's "importance" or "art" or, yes, "greatness." I do not think that this in any way…
