Recensione:

Praise for Jonathan Lethem:

"Jonathan Lethem's is a fresh, brazen voice. As funny as he is paranoid, Lethem loves to cross-wire popular genres and watch the sparks fly. And Lethem has talent to burn, an impression reinforced by his rapid pace of production and the snappiness of his prose. Lethem is opening up blue sky for American fiction."
--The Voice Literary Supplement

"One of our most inventive, stylish and sensuous writers."
--Entertainment Weekly

"One of the most original voices among younger American novelists."
--Newsday

"A young novelist worth watching."
--Washington Post

"Audaciously assured."
--Newsweek

"Hugely ambitious."
--USA Today

"A wunderkind who in a scant five years has produced five aggressively original works of fiction--One waits eagerly to learn where Lethem will take us next."
--Kirkus Reviews
