Summary: the best of Lethem!
Comment: This is the most unusual book I've read by Lethem, which in my opinion makes it his best. I really enjoy Lethem's books. Whenever I want to read something very well-crafted yet not the same old boring mainstream garbage, I turn to Lethem. Though I do wish he would write things more on the strange side like This Shape We're In. A lot of his books are pretty tame in comparison to the authors in the underground. Carlton Mellick or D. Harlan Wilson for example.

Summary: The immensity of Lethem!
Comment: For those who have read any of Jonathan Lethems' prior novels, you'll recognize and appreciate the full sweep and scope of this mans broad imagination. In this beautiful, cloth bound edition (with a limited 10,000 print run), he takes us on another wild, ambitious ride.

The author enters you into the human body to explore what truly operates within. It's a journey tale- where the respective heroes find the satisfying validity of redemption after slogging through the accepted, taken-for-granted state of their world.

I've always enjoyed Lethems' fascination and portrayal of the human condition. He's one of those gifted authors that understands how to slam the reader straight into the midst of his crafted world and into the minds of his (always unusual) protaganists. Furthermore, he tells an intriguing tale the only way he knows how; by using the poetry and glory of the english language to craft an awe-inspiring gasp of gratitude and fulfillment.

If only Lethem would publish every novel under Mcsweeneys! We'd have his entire collection in the most attractive format possible!

Summary: More soothing than a cup of Mint Moments tea!
Comment: When I was a kid I used to often visit my ancestral village and this place till today relies on home made remedies and the results are fast and quick. Sad to say that this practice is dying. Thankfully we have Mr. Lethem, whose pioneering work in Digestive Fiction is very helpful for those who tend to eat anything and everything. Just before bath or on weekends you could read this book to your stomach and you would not have to worry about nighttime ailments. See for yourself. Highly recommended!
