He burst onto the scene with the critically acclaimed novel, Gun, with Occasional Music (1994). He followed this with Amnesia Moon (1995) and As She Climbed Across the Table (1997).

As She Climbed Across the Table Advertisement I understand you've recently divulged a secret hankering for pursuing rock journalism in a published open letter about (Australian rock band) The Go-Betweens which is on the Open Letters web site: http://www.openletters.net/001023/lethem001023.html Well, the hint I'm actually dropping there points to the book I'm working on next. I'm writing a big novel, and it's going to take me a long time to do. The main character in it is going to become a kind of rock journalist as he grows up. The first half of the book is set in childhood. I think this all sort of starts with [the fact that] I've always been a very avid fan of music and also have been a fan as I sort of say in the letter of the great rock writers. I'm always kind of in awe of them. But I've always shied away from trying to do it myself, precisely because I think that the best ones are the ones who've really devoted themselves to it as, you know, their main work. And I just wouldn't want to be a dilettante. It's something that, you know, someone like Greil Marcus is doing so, so brilliantly.

Jonathan Lethem Benaroya Hall, 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 18, 2007 Underwritten by Gull Industries Biography Excerpt Selected Works Links ... Lecture Preview Biography Jonathan Lethem wryly calls himself a "pop-inspired geek," but critics and readers know he is not so easily pegged. This genre-crossing writer first attracted a cult following for futuristic gumshoe novels ( Gun, with Occasional Music , 1994) and apocalyptic science-fiction westerns ( Girl in Landscape , 1998). His wildly inventive tale of a detective with Tourette's syndrome, Motherless Brooklyn , won the 1999 National Book Critics Circle award, and a 2005 MacArthur Foundation "genius" award sealed Lethem's status as an author to be reckoned with. In reviewing the bestselling Brooklyn saga Fortress of Solitude (2003), the Austin Chronicle hit on Lethem's virtuosity: "Better than a movie, better than a symphony, better than a play, and better than a painting, because it is all of them." Lethem in fact was trained as a painter and aspired to be a musician until admitting, "I was like a mumbling Lou Reed rapper guy. I can't sing...I just try to make the prose as musical as I can."

His mother, who died when he was only 14, was a native New Yorker, from Queens. His father had moved to New York from the Midwest and was an artist, specializing in oil painting on canvas. They lived in a relatively poor, "borderline" multi-racial neighborhood, and although Lethem's parents advocated racial equality and color blindness, neighborhood kids had a different take on life.

"I was mostly kind of intimidated by the material itself, the fact of growing up in Brooklyn. I was avoiding it in all of the early books," he admits by phone during a vacation in Bay Point, Maine. "I certainly had it in mind for a long, long time before I wrote it. There are elements in it that go back to impulses to write a novel that I had when I was 18, 19 and 20, when at that point I would never have even approached having the necessary tools to do justice to this material in any way." Blending the science fiction, mystery and Western genres, Lethem received critical acclaim for such earlier works as

16. The Fortress Of Solitude The Fortress of Solitude by jonathan lethem. This is the story jonathan lethem was born to tell. This is THE FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE. http://www.randomhouse.com/features/fortress/

Home This is the story of two boys, Dylan Ebdus and Mingus Rude. They are friends and neighbors, but because Dylan is white and Mingus is black, their friendship is not simple. This is the story of their Brooklyn neighborhood, which is almost exclusively black despite the first whispers of something that will become known as "gentrification." This is the story of 1970s America, a time when the most simple human decisions-what music you listen to, whether to speak to the kid in the seat next to you, whether to give up your lunch money-are laden with potential political, social and racial disaster. This is the story of 1990s America, when no one cared anymore. This is the story of punk, that easy white rebellion, and crack, that monstrous plague. This is the story of the loneliness of the avant-garde artist and the exuberance of the graffiti artist. This is the story of what would happen if two teenaged boys obsessed with comic book heroes actually had superpowers: They would screw up their lives. This is the story of joyous afternoons of stickball and dreaded years of schoolyard extortion. This is the story of belonging to a society that doesn't accept you. This is the story of prison and of college, of Brooklyn and Berkeley, of soul and rap, of murder and redemption. This is the story Jonathan Lethem was born to tell. This is

The moment he sees the daughter of the house, he is lost. She is a preteen, whose charms instantly enslave him. Heedless of her age, he becomes intimate with her. In the end she dies, and the narrator—marked by her forever—remains alone. The name of the girl supplies the title of the story: Lolita Lolita is to be found in its predecessor; the former is in no way deducible from the latter. Still: did Nabokov consciously borrow and quote?

J O N A T H A N L E T H E M : The McSweeney's Interview I N I T S E N T I R E T Y T H U S F A R . This interview began a few days ago, and very well might conclude today. If you have read portions of it, you may skip to the parts you have not yet read. If you have not read any of it, you may skip to the parts that seem easiest to read. Mr. Lethem has made many books, including Gun with Occasional Music, a scathing renunciation of Neo-Orthodox Catholicism, and Girl in Landscape, a reevaluation of British foreign policy after the Opium War. His new book is Motherless Brooklyn, a detective story wherein the protagonist suffers from Tourette's, and goes on to marry the young Ladybird Johnson. It is due in stores any minute now, and it is by most accounts Lethem's best work yet. Lethem was born in he United States sometime after WWII. He has brown hair and does not wear hats. He is known for his quick wit and even quicker temper. We are proud to have Jonathan Lethem as the first subject of these, the McSweeney's Interviews.

19. Q&A: Jonathan Lethem - The Boston Globe WHEN I VISITED the writer jonathan lethem he boasted of his new novel, You Don t Love Me Yet, being a profoundly unimportant book. http://www.boston.com/ae/books/articles/2007/03/04/qa_jonathan_lethem/

Movies Restaurants Food Calendar ... Books 'I'm suggesting [originality] is an overrated virtue.' March 4, 2007 WHEN I VISITED the writer Jonathan Lethem he boasted of his new novel, "You Don't Love Me Yet," being "a profoundly unimportant book." He emphasized its irrelevance as we chatted in his Dean Street apartment, in the Boerum Hill section of Brooklyn, on the block where he grew up and that he used as a setting for "The Fortress of Solitude" (2003), his best known novel. That book recounts the complex friendship between Dylan, a white teenager, and Mingus, his black counterpart, in mid-1970s Boerum Hill. The tale is both realistic in depicting racial tension and a neighborhood heading from bohemianism to gentrification and fantastic: Mingus and Dylan are able to muster superpowers. With its combination of grit and fable, the novel appears to be working its way into the fabric of Brooklyn life: Just days before my meeting with Lethem, a lawyer mounted what The New York Times called "The Fortress of Solitude" defense, arguing that her client was not responsible for a rampage he committed because, like Dylan and Mingus, he had been obsessed with comic book superheroes as a kid. Lethem chuckled about this story, but told me he had no desire, at the moment, to enter further into Brooklyn lore and no aspiration to be the "Faulkner of Dean Street." A big reason "You Don't Love Me Yet" is set in Los Angeles, he said, is that "I know nothing about Los Angeles."

"Maybe that's why my books are full of pop music," he muses, naming some of the bands who've inspired him: Pavement, Camper Van Beethoven, stuff that's on the hard side of college rock. With his salt-and-pepper mane, baseball T-shirt and engineer's glasses, Lethem could be just another music nerd enthusing about obscure '90s rock in a quiet Berkeley cafe. But Lethem is the author of literary sensation Fortress of Solitude , winner of a MacArthur genius grant and is about to author a new version of the cult comic book Omega the Unknown for Marvel.
