This copy has been SIGNED by Michael Chabon on the title page. This is the 1st UK Edition of the author's second book - a collection of wonderfully diverse stories. His first novel - The Mysteries of Pittsburgh received widespread critical acclaim. Written with sly comedy and touching pathos, Chabon's stories explore the shifting territory where the bizarre and the ordinary, the alien and the familiar, meet and mingle, to provide a sparkling confirmation of a wonderfully rich and original talent.
