If you follow my reviews, you know that I ardently proclaim Michael Chabon as America’s greatest contemporary writer.  Sometimes he demands a bit more effort on my part as a reader, but he’s never outright disappointed me.

Until now.

I truly hate to say this, but Gentlemen of the Road was utterly incomprehensible and, worst of all, completely dull.

Forgive me, Mr. Chabon, but I do not recommend anyone read this book.
