Didn't know they were going to be making a film of it. Very interesting.<BR/><BR/>Chabon's best novel to date, however, is <I>The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay</I>, a story about two Jewish cousins, the beginning of the American comic book and WWII.<BR/><BR/>Won Chabon the Pulitzer Prize, it did. (Rumor has it Natalie Portman is interested in portraying the main female lead in the film.)david golbitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03494541678536011153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17556334.post-1151652156854434312006-06-30T03:22:00.000-04:002006-06-30T03:22:00.000-04:00Leo was great in The Aviator, but it seems that ma...Leo was great in The Aviator, but it seems that many have forgotten What's Eating Gilbert Grape.
