MA – Chronic City Signing

Jonathan Lethem signs his latest novel on Tuesday Sept 21st at 7PM.

The bestselling and beloved author of Motherless Brooklyn, The Fortress of Solitude, and Omega the Unknown delivers a searing love letter to the city that has inspired his finest work.
 
Chase Insteadman, former child television star, has a new role in life—permanent guest on the Upper East Side dinner party circuit, where he is consigned to talk about his astronaut fiancée, Janice Trumbull, who is trapped on a circling Space Station. A chance encounter collides Chase with Perkus Tooth, a wily pop culture guru with a vicious conspiratorial streak and the best marijuana in town. Despite their disparate backgrounds and trajectories Chase and Perkus discover they have a lot in common, including a cast of friends from all walks of life in Manhattan.  Together and separately they attempt to define the indefinable, and enter into a quest for the most elusive of things: truth and authenticity in a city where everything has a price.

Jonathan Lethem – Chronic City
Thursday, October 22 at 6pm
Coolidge Corner Theatre, $5

The MacArthur Fellow behind Motherless Brooklyn, The Fortress of Solitude and Omega the Unknown has written another exquisitely haunting novel. Chronic City follows the life of a former child star as it intersects with those of an astronaut, a ghostwriter, and a genius critic. What The Fortress of Solitude did for Gowanus, Chronic City does for the island of Manhattan.
