About This Book

Published in 2001, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay established Michael Chabon as one of the defining voices in literary fiction. Two Jewish cousins—Sam Clay and Joe Kavalier, a refugee from Nazi Prague—create the hit comic book superhero The Escapist in 1930s New York in this exuberant Pulitzer-winning novel. Chabon's book is at once a meditation on art, escape, and the immigrant experience, and a love letter to the golden age of comics. Themes of comics, immigration, World War II run through the work. The book has received recognition from Pulitzer Prize 2001.
