Lethem's New Novel Reviewed in Elle Magazine

"This novel's powerful and polarizing cultural, political, and racial energies are animated by a typically Lethem-esque cast of zanies, communalists, sexual adventurers, innocents, druggies, dreamers, and do-gooders -- cosmopolitans all -- whose lives collide and clash with gut-busting humor, heart, and hubris, which Lethem delivers in his seductively vertiginous prose."

Lethem's new novel is reviewed in the September 2013 issue of Elle (not available yet online).
