excerpt by Michael Chabon, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The
Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay and other books. His contribution
is “Berkeley”:

at Chez Panisse, in a yoga room, under a pair of headphones at
Amoeba Records, in Tilden Park, in the great disorderly labyrinth
of Serendipity Books, on the floor at Ashkenaz while the ouds
jangle and pipes skirl..."
