- - - - Michael Chabon Recommends... By Michael Chabon The Fortress of Solitude (2003) by Jonathan Lethem "Lethem has done a number of things here, any one of which is impossible for any but the very finest novelists. He has vividly and lovingly and truthfully, through thrilling evocation of its music, its popular culture, its street games, argot, pharmacology, social mores and racial politics, recreated a world, a moment in history that I would have thought lost and irrecoverable. He has created, in young Dylan, a genuine literary hero. He has reinvented and reinvigorated the myths of the superhero, of black-white relations, of New York City itself. But most of all, from my point of view, he captures precisely—as only a great novelist canhow it feels to love the world that is, on a daily basis, kicking your ass." - - - -
