#AyUpAugust Another book that‘s either a love/ hate with readers 🤷♀️ I totally fell for Chabon‘s grandfather a #MardyBum with a heart of gold. Chabon is telling the life of his grandfather as told to him in his dying days. He‘s a larger than life man - kind of Ove with a dash of Leo Gursky and some Sheldon Cooper, too! Blurred lines of truth & fiction fuse to create a wild tale.
Lola I love Michael Chabon and even though I bought this when it came out, I haven‘t read it yet 🙃 So glad to know you loved it! 6y
KathyWheeler Chabon is a difficult author for me and I don‘t know why. I‘ve only finished one of the several books of his I‘ve started,![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)
