Great Books By Women

If I were ever invited to join a secret cabal of culturally wise writers - the kind of club where you'd find Erik Davis, Douglas Wolk, Jonathan Lethem, or Luc Sante all sipping absinthe while deconstructing reruns of Man From Uncle - I imagine it would also host the kinds of women who are writing the books that have ended up in my mailbox this month. Jessica Helfand's Scrapbooks is a well-documented...

Jonathan Lethem Week(s) Continues; Did You Hear the One About 'The Dark Knight?'

Jonathan Lethem — Lee them !—is the object of pretty much round the clock obsession here at Sound of the City. Combine that and our other bourgeois tastes—the New York Times, comic books, criticizing The Dark Knight for being a subliminal fascist vehicle of the terrifying new world order —and a Lethem op-ed on a Sunday when we have nothing else to do will occasional spark an orgy of coverage. Not...

Books: Lethem, Marcus

Tomorrow night literary great Jonathan Lethem, author of many fine tomes (most of which I can vouch for), is going to appear in conversation with Greil Marcus, author of, seemingly, seven million equally wonderful words on American culture in general, rock music in particular. (Fun fact: Marcus wrote the preface to Luc Sante’s latest, which [...]

Jonathan Lethem: We're the Joker; McCain's Batman; Obama Settles for Wall-E

While entertainers may skew elections , entertainment seems to increasingly be the lens through which America is figuring out its political landscape. Witness Jonathan Lethem's op-ed in yesterday's Times , in which the novelist (and, uh, musician ) essentially equates the raving incoherence of The Dark Knight 's simpering Joker with the apparent craving of most Americans to have the most addled, distracted,...

Batman Versus The Novelist

Over the weekend, novelist Jonathan Lethem returned from his fortress of solitude in Maine (with a new novel in the can, we speculate). At a time when most writers would crack a bottle of champagne, this comic-book obsessed novelist took a crack at Batman instead. His New York Times op-ed added more fuel to the summer's dueling metaphor debate about Batman's politics-- did the caped crusader support...

Jonathan Lethem: The Art of Darkness

The Art of Darkness by Jonathan Lethem NY Times ... If, like me, you’d hoped, distantly, vaguely, probably idiotically, that the 2008 presidential contest might be a referendum on truths documented since the previous presidential election, guess again. That our Iraqi invasion was founded on opportunistic lies, that it was hungered for by its planners in advance of the enabling excuse of 9/11, is a...

Brooklyn Book Festival: Joan Didion, Jonathan Lethem, Richard Price Triumphant

Brooklyn Book Festival Sunday, September 14 Borough Hall It was a late Saturday Los Angeles Times article that broke the news of David Foster Wallace's death for most of us, and it was their book editor David Ulin's quote, describing the scene at Saturday's National Book Critics Circle Board meeting in New York City, that best summed up the character of a weekend most of literary Brooklyn had been...
