I just finished my book club selection for this month, Michael Chabon's Gentlemen of the Road.
It is a small novel, set in ancient times, and is the story of two buddies/conspirators/men and their adventures in "Khazaria".
This is my first Chabon book and he describes this as unlike any of his others, which I gather are detective stories. The prose is nicely structured, almost poetic at times, and very good at developing its characters. A well crafted book, imo.
