Review:
"Lethem's most ambitious work to date....One of America's finest novelists explores the disconnections among art, government, space travel, and parallel realities, as his characters hunger for elusive meaning....All truths and realities are open to interpretation...in this brilliantly rich novel." (starred review)
Kirkus Reviews, 06/15/2009
Review:"Though CHRONIC CITY at times requires patience, it is a luxuriously stylized paean to Gotham City's great fountain of culture that is slowly drying up. Like the city itself, the book sways toward the maximal, but its prose shines like our skyline at sunset."
Arthur Nersesian, Publishers Weekly, 08/03/2009

"Signature Reviewed by Arthur Nersesian Jonathan Lethem's work has gone from postapocalyptic sci-fi to autobiographical magical realism. In Chronic City, he weaves these elements together, blending a number of actual recent events to create his own surreal urban landscape. The nearly mythological construction of the Second Avenue Subway spawns a strange destructive tiger that defies capture as it transforms the old city into a scary new one. Jonathan Lethem is the author of seven novels. A recipient of the MacArthur Fellowship, Lethem has also published his stories and essays in The New Yorker, Harper's, Rolling Stone, Esquire, and the New York Times, among others. A Very Special/ unique copy thus of the Signed First Edition. Signed by Author on the title page. Signed by Author(s).
