Philip Marlowe would blush. And tip his fedora.
Philip Marlowe would blush. And tip his fedora.
Utterly original and deeply moving
In The Fortress of Solitude (Lethem's) love of Brooklyn suffuses every paragraph; his understanding of the dynamics of inner-city life is equally sharp whether he is describing a game of handball, a routine mugging or a shoplifting jaunt. Rarely has the anxious adventure of childhood been evoked better.

The Fortress of Solitude:
One of the richest, messiest, most ambitious, most interesting novels of the year.... Lethem grabs and captures 1970s New York City, and he brings to it a story worth telling.
