works

I once e-mailed Michael Chabon asking him if he knew whether a checklist existed for all of his works and short stories. With a sigh of regret, he basically said that unfortunately he had not kept track of them. Thus, this is an attempt on my behalf to list out every story, novel, and article that Chabon has ever written.

The list is as close to being chronological as possible, though I sadly must admit that on many of these stories I was unable to find anything more than a year. If the stories and articles are reprinted, I've tried to make note of this, and I've also tried to make available any links leading to the stories on the Internet. I've also made available links to Amazon for any books.

Books (though not comic books) written or edited by Chabon are in bold. To the best of my ability, this list maintains the stories' original publishing titles (Chabon has a nasty habit of changing them on his website).

If you know of a story that is not mentioned on this list or have more information about a particular story (such as the original source or date), e-mail me. I would be very grateful.
