Acclaimed music producer Mark Ronson collaborated with Pulitzer prize-winning author Michael Chabon on his latest album.

The British-Jewish producer asked the author over a year ago to write the lyrics for his long-awaited return album Uptown Special, whose debut single will be out in January.

Mr Ronson, 39, has spoken of his long-held admiration for the author’s work, citing the Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay as one of his favourite books to give as a present.

Jewish-American author Mr Chabon, 51, is often described as “one of the most celebrated writers of his generation”. He won the Pulitzer prize in 2001.
