With that said, when I think of Art, I hear a Sezen Aksu (cannot remember the name) song echoing in the background, "..bir kedim bile yok, anneme kustum,.." Throughout the book, I could not help myself but roll my eyes, shake him up a little, and scream from the top of my lungs, "Get over yourself, and [please] stop crying!" Then again, didn't (or don't) we all have to get over ourselves at one point? Coincidentally enough, as I made my way over to our local library this morning to pick up the books I had put on hold, I came across Chabon's 'The Yiddish Policemen's Union' on the "Favorites" shelf... Hmmm, maybe a little later, I thought to myself, after I digest MOH... Chabon indeed gets under your skin- the way he sweeps you right into the story, takes you from Rina’s to Jane’s, to the library, then to the lakehouse,…- it’s almost impossible not to relate to Art or to some of his experiences on some level.

I'm the leader of that group. If you'd like to read a copy of the MOP screenplay, I'd be willing to send you one via email. Just contact me @ bechstein[at]yahoo[dot]com If you enjoy books about/set in the 80s, you might want to check out my debut novel, BAND FAGS! which is available from Kensington Books.
