Newest Michael Chabon. It's not quite as fresh as circa-2000 Michael Chabon. But he has a really, really keen sense of a specific type of person and a specific idea of American life. To the degree that it maybe resonates with me, even though I've barely experienced it in a real context. So that makes him, by some definition, an extremely good fiction writer.

Actually I enjoy contemplating that more than I do learning about his characters.
