Les loups-garous dans leur jeunesse
Au premier abord, on se dit que tout est normal. Timothy est un enfant doué d'imagination, Green un père surmené et Grace une jeune femme en quête de sensations. Puis au fil des nouvelles l'image d'un monde bien ordonné s'effrite. A l'apparente sérénité des habitudes succède le sentiment qu'un drame simple hante tous ces personnages. Quelque chose de leur existence vacille. Eddie vole les bijoux de la grand-mère de son ex-épouse et Cara annonce à son mari qu'elle gardera l'enfant né d'un viol. Il faut l'écriture sensible et attentive de Michael Chabon, mêlant à l'âpreté des destins la banalité des situations, pour restituer ces instants qui, chargés de désespoir ou de folie douce, bouleversent l'ordre d'une vie.

It received the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 2001.
