Chabon is coming!

I used to have a blog that wasn't this one. In it I would post some of my favorite short story openings. I figure that idea wasn't such a bad one, so I'm going to repost one of the openings here.

Michael Chabon is coming to The Cabin on April 7th. This is from his story "Werewolves in Their Youth." It was originally published in The New Yorker.

I had known him as a bulldozer, as a samurai, as an android programmed to kill, as Plastic Man and Titanium Man and Matter-Eater Lad, as a Buick Electra, as a Peterbilt truck, and even, for a week, as the Mackinac Bridge, but it was as a werewolf that Timothy Stokes finally went too far.

Did I mention that he's coming to Boise?
