‘For a good portion of the book, there is what we would call vintage Lethem’ – The Blot by Jonathan Lethem

By the climax, a book that started with the promise of As She Climbed Across the Table (Lethem’s White Noise) burns out with the distortion of Gun, With Occasional Music (which we know is some people’s favourite Lethem, to this day, but not us). Before we started reading, as a result of Dissident Garden and Lucky Alan, we were nervous. The Blot shows that Lethem still has that thing we liked, can still lead us by the nose, but his grip on us is not what it was...
