Finished reading: The Arrest: A Novel by Jonathan Lethem 📚
@MitchWagner I'd say "OK" rather than "great." It's a funny idea about a post-acopolyptic world that has no internet, electricity or gas-powered engines. But it's boringly full of male gaze while at the same time trying to be post-feminist by making only the women smart. I found it tedious.
@agilelisa Too bad. I loved his "Fortress of Solitude" — I grew up near that Brooklyn neighborhood, at about the same time as the protagonist, though my experience was far gentler than the protagonist's. I also loved "Motherless Brooklyn," "Chronic City," "Gun, With Occasional Music," and a few more.
