  • "Chronic City" is a wonderful novel full of empathy for the human race.

  • love you jonathan :) see you next year at the renunion hopfully

  • @ccipollini1984 Because he used a few words you don't understand? I wouldn't be surprised if that was the reason, since describing Lethem as a "pompus ass" reeks of naivety. Either way, thanks for your apology.

  • @ccipollini1984 It's okay. I'm over it.

  • He strikes me as a pompus ass, I'm sorry.

  • I saw this in class. He's super cool :D

  • I agree with Lethem's closing words. I write out my first drafts by hand on legal pads. Typing into the computer those words allows for a thorough revision and reorganization. I've encouraged students to do this, but thus far no takers. MOTHERLESS BROOKLYN was a very fun book, FORTRESS less so, but still worth reading. Lethem has written some excellent short stories as well.

  • Excellent. Thank you for sharing this. I hope this collaboration continues.

  • FIRST BITCH!
