'''Michael Chabon''' is an American writer of both [[Lit Fic|literary]] and genre fiction. He has achieved the unprecedented goal of appealing to both literary snobs who despise genre fiction, and genre fiction snobs who despise the literati. Sometimes even at the same time. He has won both a Pulitzer Prize for Literature, and a [[Hugo Award]] for best [[Science Fiction]] Novel of the Year.
Most of his books are, in part, about Judaism or Jewish people. He has written [[Fantasy]], [[Mystery]], and [[Alternate History]] -- and even when he isn't writing genre fiction, he often writes about it.
