The Fortress of Solitude

Lethem's sixth novel, from 2004, was "both his most intimate and most expansive," he says. "Its subjects: Brooklyn, gentrification, race, childhood, art, and identity."

Playing the Self-Trumpet

Brooklyn Crime Novel drops in Three Weeks. What Are We Waiting For? Three weeks from today, ECCO is publishing BROOKLYN CRIME NOVEL. Writing it meant a lot to me, more than I can say. I promised myself I’d do everything possible to help it find a place in the world. So, I’m taking the self-trumpet out of mothballs. (I played trumpet for about two years in middle school. It didn’t take.) Here’s the big button for you to push to pre-order the book. Please consider doing this for me and others — it’s a great favor to an author you like!

Brooklyn Crime Novel, an infomercial

Shameless self-promotion I’m sending this to let everyone know that I’ve got a new book coming on October 3rd, from Ecco. Pre-order links are here. The book will come to you on publication day. It helps a tremendous amount. I’m awfully proud of this one, and grateful to my publisher…
