Jeopardy Champ Ken Jennings on Chabon's latest

Ken Jennings - Blog: "Screw the Diana book–did you realize that May-June saw the release of new novels by Don DeLillo, Michael Chabon, Haruki Murakami and Ian McEwan? You know how it is, years go by without a bus, and then four stop at once.

I’ve only read The Yiddish Policemen’s Union so far, but it’s fantastic. Chabon’s obviously been studying his Chandler–the prose is even snappier and more quotable than it was in Kavalier and Clay, if that’s possible. And since he’s known to be a comic book fan as well–does anyone else think the “parallel-universe conspiracy explored via locked-room murder mystery” structure owes anything to Watchmen?"
