I'm so glad you loved this book, too!! I saw Chabon read from it right after it came out, and he talked a bit about the "Say It With Yiddish" essay and all the bizarre forms of criticism he got for it; thanks for the link (which I'm going to check out immediately). I'm actually reading his first book, The Mysteries of Pittsburgh, right now.
