22. New York State Writers Institute - Jonathan Lethem The only novelist listed among Newsweek s 100 People for the New Century, jonathan lethem reinvents familiar genres every time he sits down to write. http://www.albany.edu/writers-inst/lethem_jonathan.html

J onathan L ethem October 21, 2003 (Tuesday) 4:15 p.m. Informal Seminar Assembly Hall, Campus Center 8:00 p.m. Reading Recital Hall, PAC Both UAlbany, Uptown Campus Newsweek's "100 People for the New Century," Jonathan Lethem reinvents familiar genres every time he sits down to write. In his latest novel, Fortress of Solitude (September 2003), Lethem plays with the conventions of superhero comics. Set in the 1970s and 1990s, in both Brooklyn and California, Fortress of Solitude follows the friendship of two boys, one white, one black, against a larger landscape of political, social and racial conflict. What makes the novel utterly different from typical coming-of-age stories is the fact that both teenagers have superhero powers. And, like many adolescent males, they use their powers mostly to ruin their own lives. ". . .a grim, brave, soaring American masterpiece." - Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Richard Russo Gun, with Occasional Music (1994), Lethem plunged his detective hero, Conrad Metcalf, into a world populated by mutant human infants, rabbits, kittens, dogs, and a murderous kangaroo. "Publisher's Weekly" named it one of the Best Books of 1994. San Francisco Examiner "Lethem has talent to burn."

The friend who turned me on to Lethem's last novel, "Girl in Landscape," did it the best way just opened the book and made me read the first paragraph: Mother and daughter worked together, dressing the two young boys, tucking them into their outfits. The boys slithered under their hands, delighted, impatient, eyes darting sideways. They nearly groaned with momentary pleasure. The four were going to the beach, so their bodies had to be sealed against the sun. The boys had never been there. The girl had, just once. She could barely remember.

Unbridled Books Barking at the Moon ** Recently Updated TEV DEFINED The Elegant Variation is "Fowler’s (1926, 1965) term for the inept writer’s overstrained efforts at freshness or vividness of expression. Prose guilty of elegant variation calls attention to itself and doesn’t permit its ideas to seem naturally clear. It typically seeks fancy new words for familiar things, and it scrambles for synonyms in order to avoid at all costs repeating a word, even though repetition might be the natural, normal thing to do: The audience had a certain bovine placidity, instead of The audience was as placid as cows. Elegant variation is often the rock, and a stereotype, a clich©, or a tired metaphor the hard place between which inexperienced or foolish writers come to grief. The familiar middle ground in treating these homely topics is almost always the safest. In untrained or unrestrained hands, a thesaurus can be dangerous."

He gamely signed my name in his novel and refrained from calling me a dick before putting his own John Hancock on the first page of the Minneapolis Public Library's cellophane-covered first edition of Fortress of Solitude If anyone stumbles across that can you let me know so I can grab a snapshot?

40. ARTICLE I spoke with jonathan lethem, an author with a pretty good shot at having his own edition in the Library of America someday, and the editor of Dick’s http://www.articlejournal.net/issue_three/p_k_d.html

about search subscribe content ... audio/video THE THREE STIGMATA of PHILIP K. DICK Despite his recent canonization, mainstream critics still cast this American visionary as a poor writer, a drug addict, and a wacko. by David Gill According to its Web site, the Library of America is a nonprofit publishing house "dedicated to publishing, and keeping in print, authoritative editions of America's best and most significant writing." Of course this begs the question how can anyone determine what exactly the "best and most significant writing" is, but let's put that aside for the moment. Hailed by The New York Times Book Review as the "quasi-official national canon of American literature," the LoA has released authoritative volumes by Herman Melville, Stephen Crane, Henry James, Walt Whitman, Jack Kerouac, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Tennessee Williams and many, many others. Dick's inclusion in the LoA is an incredible accomplishment for any writer, let alone a sci-fi writer who many critics have denounced as unreadable and unworthy of study. Upon hearing of the book's release, a sense of relief washed over me. No longer would I have to defend my serious scholarship of Dick's work, no longer would I have to justify assigning Dick's novels in college literature courses—finally I had some hard evidence to support my assertion that Dick was one of the most insightful and courageous philosophical writers of the 20th century. But my satisfaction was short-lived. A string of articles that announced Dick's arrival as a literary Golden Boy rehashed the same accusations he endured from critics for most of his life: clunky prose, recycled characters, creaky plots. Instead of celebrating Dick's long, prolific career and his incredible professionalism, these reviews chronicled the darkest moments in Dick's life and cataloged the long list of criticisms people have leveled at his writing.
