Day 19: The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay by Michael Chabon


I want to open this book and see not words but men in suits. Is that so much to ask? If this is going to be your book cover then it definitely isn't a hard request to live up to. It would, in actual fact, be amazing - as the title suggests.

Who are the mysterious Kavalier & Clay characters? They sound like stars from hit daytime series The Bold and the Beautiful, not to mention that their names work perfectly together. Kavalier is the leggy blonde with the diamond encrusted heritage, and Clay is the tall, dark glass of refreshing water that breezed through Malibu Heights as welcoming to Kavalier as a new Chanel handbag. They suit each other perfectly.

As does the blue used in the background of this image. Cool, calm, and collected - just like Clay. 

The only element that ruins this book cover, and stops my imagination from running wild, is Michael's last name. Chabon, is that a breed of baboon? The Chabon Baboon resides in the deepest, darkest terrain of South America...as the largest prey known to predators. It's know for it's fleshy, fatty meat, slow prance, and stupidity. Tigers like to eat The Chabon for breakfast.
