Wonder Boys (Paperback, Reissue)


"The natural exuberance and extravagance of Chabon's writing is matched by dazzling wit."
SUNDAY TELEGRAPH

"Grady Tipp is an over-sexed, pot-bellied, pot-smoking, aging wunderkind of a novelist now teaching creative writing at a Pittsburgh college while working on his 2000page masterpiece, 'Wonder Boys'. When his rumbustious editor and friend Terry Crabtree arrives in town, a chaotic weekend follows, involving a tuba, a dead dog, Marilyn Monroe's ermine-lined jackets and a squashed boa constrictor."
Q

"Deliriously funny…Chabon's elegant style, perfectly realised characters and comic vision combine to make the most enjoyable novel of the year."
ESQUIRE

"A wonderfully teasing comic novel."
