In an interview with the American Booksellers Association promoting ''Moonglow'' in November 2016, Chabon stated that his next fiction project would be "...a long overdue follow-up—but not a sequel—to ''Summerland'', my book for a somewhat younger readership. It's something I've been trying to get around to for a long time."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://bookweb.org/news/qa-michael-chabon-author-december%E2%80%99s-1-indie-next-list-pick-34962 |title=A Q&A With Michael Chabon, Author of December's #1 Indie Next List Pick &#124; American Booksellers Association |publisher=Bookweb.org |date=2016-11-15 |access-date=2017-05-19}}</ref>

Despite his success, Chabon continues to perceive himself as a "failure", noting that "anyone who has ever received a bad review knows how it outlasts, by decades, the memory of a favorable word."<ref>''Manhood for Amateurs: The Pleasures and Regrets of a Husband, Father and Son,'' by Michael Chabon, Fourth Estate, 2009. p. 7</ref>
