Michael Chabon at Osher Marin JCC September 22, 2011

Pulitzer Prize-winning author Michael Chabon talks about The Astonishing Secret of Awesome Man ($17.99). Chabon snags his youngest audience yet with this first-person profile of a superhero who battles both bad guys and anger issues. Awesome Man zooms about in his stylin’ costume, decapitating a giant killer robot with the positronic rays that shoot out of his eyes, and schooling Professor Von Evil’s Antimatter Slimebot (“Antimatter slime is extra gross”). In between, he stops both a disaster-bound train and mutant talking Jell-O from Beyond the Stars with his Awesome Power Grip!
