Michael Chabon recommends
 Carter Beats the Devil (2001) Glen David Gold "A top-hat-and-tails performance...suspenseful, compendious, moving and persuasive." |  The Lovely Bones (2002) Alice Sebold "Painfully funny, bracingly tough, terribly sad, it is a feat of imagination and a tribute to the healing power of grief." |  The Fortress of Solitude (2003) Jonathan Lethem "Lethem has done a number of things here, any one of which is impossible for any but the very finest novelists. He has vividly and lovingly and truthfully, through thrilling evocation of its music, its popular culture, its street games, argot, pharmacology, social mores and racial politics, recreated a world, a moment in history that I would have thought lost and irrecoverable. He has created, in young Dylan, a genuine literary hero. He has reinvented and reinvigorated the myths of the superhero, of black-white relations, of New York City itself. But most of all, from my point of view, he captures precisely–as only a great novelist can–how it feels to love the world that is, on a daily basis, kicking your ass." |
 Adverbs (2006) Daniel Handler "A thrilling feat of tragic magic" |  Lisey's Story (2006) Stephen King "Stephen king makes bold, brilliant use of his satanic storytelling gift, his angelic ear for language, and above all his incomparable ability to find the epic in the ordinary." |  The Story of a Marriage (2008) Andrew Sean Greer "One of the most talented writers around." |
