I’d say the first three are quite similar. And, though quite different, Railsea is also good.
It’s when he put away the “nasty” for a more general audience that I got tired.
I didn’t like that Michael Chabon living city thing either, Yiddish Policeman’s Union, I guess it was, though I continue to read his books.
My living city will always be Dhalgren, I guess.
