The Unemployed Writer

I hit the bookstore on Tuesday and picked up a couple new big titles that I’ve been looking forward to for a long time. The new Chuck Palahniuk book, Rant showed up on shelves alongside the new Michael Chabon book, The Yiddish Policemen’s Union. I noticed Michiko Kakutani wrote a rather intriguing review of Chabon’s newest, comparing his newest hero to Sam Spade and Philip Marlowe (arguably two of my favorite literary hero/detectives ever written), meaning I’m foaming at the mouth to finish up my current read and start on Chabon’s newest. I’ll be sure to post a review when I get to the book and share my own thoughts.
