I know that Michael Chabon is often in that category of writers who are—what? American Young(ish) Male Writers who are like confronted with issues of masculinity in their work and are viewed as being pretentious (which is a silly judgement, everybody’s fucking pretentious)? But I still like a healthy chunk of his work.

I think part of why I like him is that he falls into fewer of those typical sad young literary men pitfalls. He can write characters who are not himself, for instance. Also he has a well-documented love of Big Barda, and that’s alright by me.
