Description

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.

Review Quote

Sharp, sad, sophisticated, funny and sometimes exceedingly strange

Other text

Lucky Alan is worth reading for those stories that convey so adroitly people’s beleaguered attempts to communicate with one another.
