Michael Chabon's Current Go-To Music for Writing
Michael Chabon (14x 96-17) is a novelist, essayist, and screenwriter whose works include the Pulitzer Prize–winning novel The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, Telegraph Avenue, and the Hugo and Nebula Award-winning The Yiddish Policemen's Union (all of them written in part at MacDowell).
Michael sent along a playlist in the spring of 2020, calling it: “My current work go-tos, some old standbys, and some new faves. Conveniently divisible into eight one-hour work sessions, four two-hour work sessions, two four-hour work sessions, or one eight-hour work session. Or put on repeat and just don’t stop. Shuffle for a shorter vibe-wavelength, play through to sustain the vibe in album-length arcs.”
We hope it inspires, calms, and focuses you in your work, and brings you much enjoyment.
