We started the week with Michael Chabon, and we're ending it that way. Thanks so much for all your wonderful feedback--we're so excited to reach out to all of you. Keep checking in, as we'll be hosting more book giveaways in the coming weeks. We'd like to end this week with a giveaway of Michael Chabon's knock-out classic, The Mysteries of Pittsburgh.
Set in industrial Pittsburgh in the mid-eighties, Michael Chabon's coming-of-age debut is a mythic look at the last summer of Art Bechstein’s youth. Art is aimless, going through the motions, until he meets Arthur Lecomte. Arthur is witty, charismatic, and hedonistic, and he ushers Art into a complex social circle where loyalties are blurred by incestuous friendships. In the course of one summer, Art discovers himself—his sexuality, ambitions, desires—and learns the heartbreak of leaving childhood behind for good.
Post a comment on The Roaring 20s for your chance to win! Have a wonderful weekend, and happy reading.
