I recently read an interview with Lethem in which he said he jumps topics in each new novel to keep from being labeled. He cites this book as putting him in danger of being "that detective writer." It's easy to see why. This is a tight, deft story set in modern-day Brooklyn that wraps a slippery, twisty plot around a central character that has to deal with Turrets syndrome as he solves a mystery. Great reading, and very fun.
