LRB 15 April 2004 Jonathan Lethem print layout tell a friend My Marvel Years Jonathan Lethem In the mid-1970s I had two friends who were into Marvel comics. Karl, whose parents were divorced, and Luke, whose parents were among the most stable I knew. My parents were something between: separated, or separating, sometimes living together and sometimes apart, and each of them with lovers. Luke had an older brother, Peter, whom both Luke and I idealised in absentia. Peter had left behind a collection of 1960s Marvel comics in sacrosanct box files. These included a nearly complete run of The Fantastic Four , the famous 102 issues drawn by Jack Kirby and scripted by Stan Lee, a defining artefact (I now know) of the Silver Age of comics.

But it is never easy. The geographical distinction that marks Chesil Beach in England is the grading of the shingle — the pebbles, that is — that forms its 18 miles: the pebbles are arranged, by wind and rain, in a spectrum of sizes and textures, so that the beach forms a spatial map of time. Each stone confesses a part of its relation to the whole. Local fishermen brag of the ability to make a blind identification of the original placement, on Chesil Beach, of a given stone.

Which isn't a hit, anyway. Doubleday will publish it in March 2007. I was wondering about what it would be like if Iris Murdoch wrote a novel about indie rock, but the book didn't end up as deep as Iris Murdoch. I only hope it's both funny and sexy, because otherwise it has no excuse for being.

@import "/c/style.css"; @import "/c/style.css"; Bookslut Home Features Reviews Columns ... Advertise February 2005 Liz Miller fiction Men and Cartoons by Jonathan Lethem Here's one thing that's come with the mainstream's gradual acceptance of comics: at some point very soon, we're going to start needing to define a new genre of literature books written by men who loved comics as boys, men who were so caught up by Silver Age storytelling at one time that it still echoes in their modern prose. And at the forefront of this fictional genre, undoubtedly, will be Jonathan Lethem, whose new book of stories, Men and Cartoons , frequently uses the bold iconography of superheroes not to stir wonder in the hearts of lads, but to tell stories about adults, stumbling over the expectations set for adulthood by the pictures of giants in capes and tights. Men and Cartoons features nine tales that feel lost in time, slightly out of place, caught halfway between nostalgia and futurism. The kaleidoscopic nature of Lethem's fictions give the reader a sense of stepping into a man's imagination and taking a look around, seeing the places where comic books and B-movies and Nietzsche have left the scorch marks of inspiration. Even the stabs at science fiction, such as "Access Fantasy," depicting a world divided between those with apartments and those trapped in an endless traffic jam, are written with 60s pulp language and a millennium sensibility, making for a slightly off-putting, strangely familiar viewpoint.

In Men and Cartoons , a grab bag of his stories, he paddles a kayak downstream over waters not exactly rapid. Old friends from elementary school reappear in order to deplore the compromises and corruptions of their former classmates. Bygone parents are revealed to have been capable of secret, sexual exultations. Young lovers in a burgled house go to bed with the ghosts of past relationships made visible by a magic spray. Artists, agents, editors, opticians, and a talking sheep named Sylvia Plath negotiate dystopias of gridlock. In "Access Fantasy," one character lives in his car in a city-wide traffic jam on the wrong side of a One-Way Permeable Barrier. Mostly, though, the comics mentioned in

Check out the current Harper's Magazine, in which Jonathan copies and pastes together a series of sentences and paragraphs from such notables as Lewis Hyde, Lawrence Lessig, Kembrew McLeod, and Siva Vaidhyanathan to make an argument for Free Culture. It's brilliant, but not online yet. Here is what Jonathan says about his new project:" These stories are for filmmakers or dramatists to adapt. They're available non-exclusively meaning other people may be working from the same material and the cost is a dollar apiece. There's a simple written agreement to sign, which imposes a couple of restrictions, and that's it once you've paid your dollar and signed the agreement, you're free to adapt or mutate the story as you please.

WORDS Stuff to Read Here are some supplementary reading materials about intellectual property law: An Interview with Jonathan Lethem Kembrew's Los Angeles Times Op-Ed about Fair Use and Free Speech ; and more to come! A Conversation with Novelist and Essayist Jonathan Lethem I have long been a fan of Jonathan Lethem author of, among many other books, the bestsellers Motherless Brooklyn and The Fortress of Solitude . In the spring of 2006 our paths crossed for the first time at an academic conference. During the event, I nervously approached him to introduce myself and give him a copy of my book, The Ecstasy of Influence: A Plagiarism At the end of our talk, I had Lethem sign my copy of his new book, It seemed appropriate, given the nature of our conversation. ON THE ECSTASY OF INFLUENCE It began as a taste, as an appetite in cultural materials, not as a kind of political position in any sense. I grew up with a father as a painter and going to museums and galleries and looking at art a lot. I always responded to it. I sensed a recognition and enthusiasm the Pop artists had in their appropriations of comic books, or the Dadaists and their collages, and I always knew I wanted to make work that had this element or that reflected this tendency. Everything about that always struck me as lovely, and I never felt any resistance to believing that the art that I found most exciting and original was also frequently and plainly indebted, or sourced, in other art.

YOU DON'T LOVE ME YET A New Novel from Jonathan Lethem From the incomparable Jonathan Lethem, a raucous romantic farce that explores the paradoxes of love and art Consumed by passion, Lucinda manages only to tear herself away from the Complainer to practice with the alternative band in which she plays bass. The lead singer of the band is Matthew, a confused young man who works at the zoo and has kidnapped a kangaroo to save it from ennui. Denise, the drummer, works at No Shame, a masturbation boutique. The band's talented lyricist, Bedwin, conflicted about the group's as-yet-nonexistent fame, is suffering from writer's block. Hoping to recharge the band's creative energy, Lucinda "suggests" some of the Complainer's philosophical musings to Bedwin. When Bedwin transforms them into brilliant songs, the band gets its big break, including an invitation to appear on L.A.'s premiere alternative radio show. The only problem is the Complainer. He insists on joining the band, with disastrous consequences for all. Brimming with satire and sex

The New Yorker : David Sedaris talks about food. Entertainment Weekly : Karen Valby interviews Jodie Foster. What do you think is the larger social commentary of The Brave One , which in some ways plays as a straight-up Dirty Harry revenge movie? Here's my commentary: I don't believe that any gun should be in the hand of a thinking, feeling, breathing human being. Americans are by nature filled with rage-slash-fear. And guns are a huge part of our culture. I know I'm crazy because I'm only supposed to say that in Europe. But violence corrupts absolutely. By the end of this, her transformation is complete.

The whole time we were like, ''You guys, this title is bad, this is misleading.'' I don't really know how to explain it except that it's the first title the script ever had and [producer] Joel Silver really believes that it has a strong feeling to it. Which it does. It's not wimpy. It would be a beautiful title for another movie. My only defense is that there are a lot of really good movies that have bad titles.

MOTHERLESS BROOKLYN Reading Group Guides THE FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE MOTHERLESS BROOKLYN Motherless Brooklyn Jonathon Lethem Vintage Books Literary Fiction ISBN: 0375724834 Reading Group Guide MOTHERLESS BROOKLYN, Jonathan Lethem's latest novel, strikes a near perfect balance between hard-boiled crime story and literary fiction. In rejecting the terse and inscrutable gumshoe in favor of Lionel Essrog, a Tourettic narrator whose self-analysis is relentless, he transcends the conventions of the detective genre, while retaining much of its circuitous, anticipatory, plot-driven spirit. With Lionel at the helm of this mystery, Lethem cleverly piggybacks the more verbally expressive aspects of Tourette's Syndrome, forcing the readers to decode the linguistic creations of the "free human Freakshow's" mind if they wish to know whodunit. The FINNEGAN'S WAKE of crime fiction, MOTHERLESS BROOKLYN is an inventive, intelligent, hilarious and surprisingly poignant story. The story begins with the requisite whodunit set-up. On a stakeout gone awry, small-time Mafioso Frank Minna, Essrog's boss at the car-service cum detective agency/dysfunctional father figure, is stabbed to death by an unknown assailant. Armed with little more than a vendetta and myriad obsessions (incessant ticking and tapping, counting, and screaming "Eat me Bailey!" among them), Essrog makes it his personal mission to hunt down the killer by infiltrating Brooklyn's "secret system." Of his hero Lethem says, "Right at Lionel's core is the delusion that he's a Chandleresque private detective."
