New York writer Jonathan Lethem twists form and style to create unconventional books that manage to transcend the restraints of the genres in which he plays. He is the author of numerous books including “Gun With Occassional Music,” “Amnesia Moon,” and “Girl in Landscape.” Lethem is the recipient of the National Book Critic’s Circle Award for his recent novel, “Motherless Brooklyn,” a story whose main character is a Tourette’s syndrome-afflicted detective.

“Another terrific entertainment from Lethem, one of contemporary fiction’s most inspired risk-takers. Don’t miss this one.” -Kirkus Reviews
