		I haven't met a person in Pittsburgh who cares about these civil service-type positions or who feels qualified to vote for them, but they're a legacy of the 18th century, a time when they elected the town scale balancer, wheelright, and town watchman in order to ensure honesty.

		The Mysteries of Pittsburgh focuses on the adventures of Arthur Bechstein during the summer he graduates from college.
		Mysteries of Pittsburgh may not receive the same notoriety as Chabon’s latter work; it doesn’t lend itself as well to the silver screen, with its honest chattiness and limited number of scrappy, uninteresting locations.

		At the age of twenty-four he was both motivated and talented enough to write and a find a publisher for the widely popular and critically esteemed “The Mysteries of Pittsburgh” – a kind of post-collegiate “Catcher In The Rye” set in, you guessed it, Pittsburgh.
		Granted, like most first novels, it feels hugely autobiographical, Chabon uses his undergraduate experience at University of Pittsburgh and real post-graduation uncertainty as the backbone, the book is full of countless razor sharp observations about living in Pittsburgh during the early 90s.
		Although not exactly great writing, “The Mysteries of Pittsburgh” made it clear that Chabon was destined to deliver better and better fiction as he grew through his 20’s.

		Others have been a bit dismissive of the "first novel" label on this book, but still when looking at a book and at an author it is important to recognize where he or she started creatively and what direction they have moved in.
		As such, while Mysteries of Pittsburgh is not Chabon's greatest work by any means, it is a good start to the rest of his books and even on its own merits, is certainly worth the time taken to read it.
		The epic, pitch-perfect sentences that color "The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay" are nowhere to be found in "The Mysteries of Pittsburgh." The story is standard novice-novelist fare: A sweetly nostalgiac coming of age story, with an obligatory crisis of sexuality.

	The Mysteries of Pittsburgh Book at Shop Ireland
		Michael Chabon's first novel, The Mysteries of Pittsburgh, has to be the best peice of fiction I've ever read.
		The drama-queen behaviors of Arthur and Phlox and the baseness and blunt truth of Cleveland and Jane do not mimic, as in so many other novels, the real actions of people, yet come at you with honesty, and Chabon makes them so human you come to feel you know them.
		These characters make the novel ring true every step of the way, and their vivid, face-slapping real-ness makes "The Mysteries..." seem more of an autobiography than a fictional account of the poingancy of loss of youth.
