Chabon on Obama

Phobocracy is a new one to me. Anyway, this is an article about my preferred candidate written by one of my most preferred authors. I was watching the Wonder Boys movie recently, was reminded how much I liked it(especially considering how many adaptations don't work), and was also reminded that my copy of the novel had never been returned by a friend of mine.
So, today I bought myself a new copy. I was really interested in re-reading it. Chabon is such a great writer. Although my new copy is a new edition with a different cover--I miss my first edition. For some reason, I always viewed this book as the second of a "Pittsburgh Trilogy", but the third installment never materialized.
But what do I know? His next book won the Pulitzer prize, and although I own a copy I've still never read the whole thing. I guess I feel more of a connection to his stories set in the city and state that I know so well.
