Review
Jonathan Lethem continues his unique brand of storytelling with this collection of seven short works. There is no mistaking his range or ability as he writes skillfully about subjects as various as Hell and the NBA. As usual, reading Lethem is a bit like staring at an upside-down Picasso in black light with 3-D glasses--intensely interesting, often confusing, rampantly inventive and never dull. The underpinning of this book is not a theme or an idea but rather Lethem's pure, unleashed talent and a mind that can come up with ideas that will jolt even seasoned SF readers.
From the Back Cover
"One of the most unique and imaginative writers of his generation."--USA Today Welcome to the many and fascinating worlds of Jonathan Lethem's striking story collection: A dead man extends his stay on Earth in order to support his family, but merely exists, zombielike, while here; basketball players wear exosuits that lend them the skills of old-time stars like Jordan and Chamberlain; a couple invites the avatars of all their old lovers to their engagement party as a last hurrah; and every time a man takes a lover, her world begins to unwind, until she loses her place in it completely. More wonder awaits in this marvelous collection from Jonathan Lethem, one of our most inventive writers and a recognized master of unforgettable fiction. "It is the less discernable minglings of the everyday with strange futurity that give Lethem's commonplace themes their awful power and lend his best stories an epic, lyrical power that makes them memorable."--Los Angeles Times"One of our most inventive, stylish and sensuous writers."--Entertainment Weekly Jonathan Lethem is the author of six novels, including Gun, With Occasional Music and Fortress of Solitude. He is the recipient of many awards, including the National Book Critics Circle Award, the Salon Book Award, and a MacArthur Fellowship. He lives in Brooklyn and Maine.
