Synopsis

A father's nervous breakdown during a visit to a theme park; a political prisoner confined to a hole in a busy New York street; a haunted 'blog'...Welcome to Lethem-land, which can be discovered only by visiting - a place where the uncanny can be found lurking in the mundane, where humour and poignancy work in harmony, and a modern master of American letters entertains and dazzles us once again, as only he can.

Media Reviews
Sharp, sad, sophisticated, funny and sometimes exceedingly strange -- Kate Saunders The Times Lucky Alan is worth reading for those stories that convey so adroitly people's beleaguered attempts to communicate with one another. -- Hannah Beckerman Guardian Intriguing. -- Aamer Hussein Independent The confidence of Lethem's narration and the clarity of his language save any of this from whimsy: that's a tough trick to pull off, but Lethem does it over and over again. No wonder he won a MacArthur fellowship (the famous genius grant ) a decade ago. -- Erica Wagner Financial Times A powerful glimpse into where Lethem is as a writer right now. Bookmunch (Blog)
