In Wonder Boys, Michael Chabon's eagerly awaited new novel (he wrote The
Mysteries of Pittsburgh), we meet James Leer, a troubled young "wonder boy"
whose obsession with Hollywood suicides leads him to commit a pair of
startling crimes. Thereby his destiny becomes entangled with that of his
writing teacher, Grady Trip, a former prodigy whose penchant for self
destruction is exceeded only by the twenty-six hundred pages of his
unfinished magnum opus, Wonder Boys, a leviathan novel that is
devouring his life.
A hilarious roller coaster ride of mad cap fun.
