Chabon Discusses Bay Area’s Literary Scene
The Wall Street Journal today has a nice Q&A with Michael Chabon discussing what it’s like to live and write in California’s San Francisco Bay Area, which along with playing host to Chabon also is home to Dave Eggers, Daniel Handler, and Terry McMillan. Chabon calls it a “very vibrant and fun and collegial scene.” Chabon lives in Berkeley, Calif. with his wife, Ayelet Waldman.
“There are all sorts of social events that occur that allow a very fluid communication between people,” he tells the WSJ. “Part of the collegiality comes from how there is an interconnectedness among the different institutions that put on literary events.”
