About this listen
The novel is at the same time an astute and wise portrait of unrequited love (albeit of a very unusual kind), a hilarious academic parody, a novel of ideas, and a social satire. It is utterly original, but in the school of Thomas Pynchon, Don DeLillo, Katherine Dunn, and David Foster Wallace.
Passion, humor, yearning, and knowledge are blended together in a suspenseful love story that could be characterized as "American magical realism".

What the critics say
"Exceptionally clever. . . . A book of compelling ideas, of intellectual conflict, of human frailty and desire. And it's funny." ( Dallas Morning News)
"Jonathan Lethem has succeeded in delivering a wonderland on the side of the looking glass," ( San Francisco Bay Guardian)
"Lethem is opening blue sky for American fiction. . . . He is rapidly evolving into his own previously uncataloged species." ( Village Voice Literary Supplement)
