    Chabon's "Gentlemen of the Road"

    Anybody picked this up yet? Thoughts? I haven't read it yet, and am hesistating since the Yiddish Policemen's Union was kind of disappointing to me (as was the Final Solution).

    Crap. I didn't know he had a new book coming out. Might have to skip the comic store this week and pick up this instead.
