In a volume he describes as "a series of covert and not-so-covert autobiographical pieces," Jonathan Lethem explores the nature of cultural obsession—from western films and comic books, to the music of Pink Floyd and the New York City subway. Along the way, he shows how each of these "voyages out from himself" has led him to the source of his beginnings as a writer.
The Disappointment Artist is a series of windows onto the collisions of art, landscape, and personal history that formed Lethem’s richly imaginative, searingly honest perspective on life. A touching, deeply perceptive portrait of a writer in the making.
BONUS MATERIAL: This edition includes an excerpt from Jonathan Lethem's Dissident Gardens.
The incomparable Jonathan Lethem returns with nine stories that demonstrate his mastery of the short form.
Jonathan Lethem’s third collection of stories uncovers a father’s nervous breakdown at SeaWorld in “Pending Veganâ€; a foundling child rescued from the woods during a blizzard in “Traveler Homeâ€; a political prisoner in a hole in a Brooklyn street in “Procedure in Plain Airâ€; and a crumbling, haunted “blog†on a seaside cliff in “The Dreaming Jaw, The Salivating Ear.†Each of these locates itself in Lethem-land, which can be discovered only by visiting. As in his celebrated novels, Lethem finds the uncanny lurking in the mundane, the irrational self-defeat seeping through our upstanding pursuits, and the tragic undertow of the absurd world(s) in which we live.
Devoted fans of Lethem will recognize familiar themes: the anxiety of influence taken to reductio ad absurdum in “The King of Sentencesâ€; a hapless, horny outsider summoning bravado in “The Porn Criticâ€; characters from forgotten comics stranded on a desert island in “Their Back Pages.†As always in Lethem, humor and poignancy work in harmony, humans strive desperately for connection, words find themselves misaligned to deeds, and the sentences are glorious.
