I really, really dug AMNESIA MOON which is like a Jeter/PKD sci-fi cyberpunk novel with some weird reality shifts, and also dug GIRL In LANDSCAPE..I am currently reading THE FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE which is pretty good, but feels too much like a fucken Spike Lee movie put to a book - it's so self-aware of its NYC-Yankee hipsterness, that I can't decide if it's great or totally pretentious self-important cuck.
Lethem has a big following with the Villgae Voice/Salon Northwest/SF hipster American set, which is a curse more than anything. He writes with a real lucid but try tone.
His stuff is good, I just wish he's write freakier experimental novels in his older age, rather than all this earnest fucken lefty lit fodder.
