Michael Chabon shows his good taste with 20 stories that vary in topic but share many of the elements of good writing: surprising plot, inventive structure, rich characters and sentences that sing. 2005 was a solid year. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/144586?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
