About this product

Product Information

A father tries to stave off a nervous breakdown when a family trip to SeaWorld shades into the sinister; a porn critic discovers that, despite his best intentions, his reputation--not to mention the stacks of smut lining his apartment--precedes him; an out-of-work avant-garde stage director begins to test his limits in the theater of life; desperate forgotten comic book characters find themselves suddenly stranded on a desert island. With his celebrated wit and invention, Lethem brilliantly transforms the real into the surreal, uncovering the absurdity always lurking in the mundane, the twin forces of humor and tragedy that bracket experience, and the lasting desire--even in the face of all that goes awry--for human connection.

Reviews
"Lethem is, of course, a king of sentences.... Lethem works in an interesting literary space between realism and absurdism, modernism and postmodernism, satire and a particular brand of DeLillo-inspired darkness.... His talent is large and, as these stories demonstrate, his eye is as sharp as ever." - New York Times Book Review "Jonathan Lethem's imagination seemingly knows no bounds.... Comparisons might be drawn to writers ranging from Jorge Luis Borges and Haruki Murakami to Margaret Atwood and J.D. Salinger." -- Chicago Tribune "Rewards await the reader who commits to this slim volume.... Lucky Alan is a beguiling addition to a shelf full of uniquely inventive books by a master of genres with a legitimate claim to the much-contested throne." -- The Miami Herald "[T]ypically odd, funny and easy to love.... [A] pleasing schizophrenia and a remarkable variety in affect and ambition within one collection." -- LA Times "[A] great introduction to the sometimes heartbreaking, often surreal world of Jonathan Lethem..." -- NPR "Mr. Lethem is a a nimble and resourceful writer." -- Michiko Kakutani, New York Times From the Hardcover edition.
