The Mysteries of Pittsburgh

By Michael Chabon

Finished reading on February 9, 2019

A fun coming of age story, but the location feels more incidental than, for example, the Neopolitan Novels. There are Pittsburgh places thrown in, but it feels more like a setting than it does a character. Chabon is always fun to read, though.
