23. Timothy McSweeney's Worldwide Fondness: Jonathan Lethem: The McSweeney's Intervi
Jonathan Lethem The McSweeney s Interview In Its Entirety Thus Far

The McSweeney's Interview
I N I T S E N T I R E T Y
T H U S F A R .
This interview began a few days ago, and very well might conclude today. If you have read portions of it, you may skip to the parts you have not yet read. If you have not read any of it, you may skip to the parts that seem easiest to read. Mr. Lethem has made many books, including Gun with Occasional Music, a scathing renunciation of Neo-Orthodox Catholicism, and Girl in Landscape, a reevaluation of British foreign policy after the Opium War. His new book is Motherless Brooklyn, a detective story wherein the protagonist suffers from Tourette's, and goes on to marry the young Ladybird Johnson. It is due in stores any minute now, and it is by most accounts Lethem's best work yet. Lethem was born in he United States sometime after WWII. He has brown hair and does not wear hats. He is known for his quick wit and even quicker temper. We are proud to have Jonathan Lethem as the first subject of these, the McSweeney's Interviews. McSwys:
Many years ago, when she was alive, Gertrude Stein famously said something derogatory about Oakland which is often quoted, because it is a famous quotatation, which she said at one time. My question therefore is a two parter: 1) How do you account for the disproportionately large Hungarian population in Bridgeport, Connecticut and 2) How do answer critics who deride you for not dealing more directly with subjects such as Oakland, Hungary, and Bridgeport, Connecticut in your work, insofar as it is purportedly the work of someone who claims to be an American?

Reading Group Guides
THE FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE
MOTHERLESS BROOKLYN Motherless Brooklyn Jonathon Lethem Vintage Books Literary Fiction ISBN: 0375724834 Reading Group Guide MOTHERLESS BROOKLYN, Jonathan Lethem's latest novel, strikes a near perfect balance between hard-boiled crime story and literary fiction. In rejecting the terse and inscrutable gumshoe in favor of Lionel Essrog, a Tourettic narrator whose self-analysis is relentless, he transcends the conventions of the detective genre, while retaining much of its circuitous, anticipatory, plot-driven spirit. With Lionel at the helm of this mystery, Lethem cleverly piggybacks the more verbally expressive aspects of Tourette's Syndrome, forcing the readers to decode the linguistic creations of the "free human Freakshow's" mind if they wish to know whodunit. The FINNEGAN'S WAKE of crime fiction, MOTHERLESS BROOKLYN is an inventive, intelligent, hilarious and surprisingly poignant story. The story begins with the requisite whodunit set-up. On a stakeout gone awry, small-time Mafioso Frank Minna, Essrog's boss at the car-service cum detective agency/dysfunctional father figure, is stabbed to death by an unknown assailant. Armed with little more than a vendetta and myriad obsessions (incessant ticking and tapping, counting, and screaming "Eat me Bailey!" among them), Essrog makes it his personal mission to hunt down the killer by infiltrating Brooklyn's "secret system." Of his hero Lethem says, "Right at Lionel's core is the delusion that he's a Chandleresque private detective."

29. Bold Type: Essay By Jonathan Lethem
essay by Lethem featured on Bold Type.
http://www.randomhouse.com/boldtype/0397/lethem/essay.html
reread John Barth's second novel, The End of the Road last week, looking for traces of my own far-off inspiration; I'd first read the book six years earlier, before starting As She Climbed Across the Table, and I recalled it as an influence without particularly remembering how it had influenced me. Or exactly how much. Rereading it I was struck by how much I'd forgotten in almost every sensethe tone and texture of the book, as well as the plot, and how deeply it had reached into me and shaped the fiction I was about to write.
Meaning to set a novel on a college campus, I'd undertaken that year to read as many novels with academic settings as I could stand. That's what led me to The End of the Road. Thus, because it was read as a part of the 'research' on settings, I'd falsely recalled that the influence of Barth's book was mainly on the setting of Table (pun half-intended). In fact, the campus setting of Road is almost incidental to the book, and seems anyway not to have infiltrated mine. My campus is instead indebted to Don DeLillo's in End Zone and White Noise , and to Malcolm Bradbury's in The History Man (especially the parties). While on this subject I suppose I should note that the campus in my book stems at least a little from direct

30. Salon | The Darkest Side Of John Wayne
Lethem s article on the appeal of John Wayne for Salon Magazine.
http://www.salon.com/july97/wayne970711.html
THE ENDURING POWER OF AMERICA'S FAVORITE ICON HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH POLITICS AND EVERYTHING TO DO WITH SEX, RACE AND LONELINESS. BY JONATHAN LETHEM in a live recording of a 1968 performance, the radical folk singer Phil Ochs introduces a song by saying: "I was always a John Wayne fan when I was younger." The audience laughs, thinking he's joking, but Ochs persists: "One of the dilemmas we have is that many of America's greatest artists are very right wing and reactionary, and not very intelligent. But they're truly great in their own mediums. I think that John Wayne is one of the greatest men ever to step in front of a camera. This song is dedicated to John Wayne." As he begins strumming chords through the giggles of the crowd he mumbles: "Nobody takes me seriously." Thinking about his politics is a way out of really looking at John Wayne. His brute Republicanism gives us an excuse for flinching from the awful contradictions he represents, without even stopping to name them. It's a forgivable instinct. What other American icon comes so overloaded with reflections of our national disasters of racism, sexual repression, violence and authority? Who else thrusts the difficult question of what it means to be a man in America so forcefully in our faces, daring us to meet his gaze? Thank heaven he's also a laughable political ignoramus, a warmongering hypocrite who never served in the armed forces. Thank heaven he's associated with the western, an easily dismissible film genre. All this gives us the chance to avert our eyes, to giggle or scoff. And we do.

32. Salon | Monstrous Acts And Little Murders
Review by Lethem on a new collection of unpublished stories by The Lottery author, Shirley Jackson.
http://www.salon.com/jan97/jackson970106.html
A new collection of unpublished stories
betrays the two faces of Shirley Jackson,
the writer who created "The Lottery." By JONATHAN LETHEM "The Lottery," of course, the story everyone knows even if they don't remember Shirley Jackson's name. A small New England town, blandly familiar in every way, sleepwalking its way through ritual murder. Likely the most controversial piece of fiction ever published in the New Yorker, resulting in hundreds of canceled subscriptions, later adapted for television, radio and ballet, it now resides in the popular imagination as an archetype. It can be as difficult to persuade readers that the story is just one sheaf in the portfolio of one of this century's most luminous and strange American writers as it is to explain that the town portrayed in "The Lottery" is a real one. The town hasn't changed, or at least it hadn't by the mid- eighties, when I was a student at the school. A handful of the townspeople portrayed in thin disguise in Jackson's novels and stories were still around. I knew the square where "The Lottery" takes place. It was Jackson's fate, as a faculty wife and an eccentric newcomer in a staid, insular village, to absorb the reflexive antisemitism and anti-intellectualism felt by the townspeople toward the college. She and her children were accessible in a way that her husband and his colleagues and students, who spent their days on the campus, were not. The hostility of the villagers further shaped her psyche, and her art; the process eventually redoubled so the latter fed the former. After the enormous success of "The Lottery," a legend arose in town, almost certainly false, that Jackson had been pelted with stones by schoolchildren one day, then gone home and written the story. The real crisis came near the end of her life, resulting in a period of agoraphobia and psychosis; she wrote her way through it in "We Have Always Lived in the Castle." In that novel, Jackson brilliantly isolates the two aspects in her psyche into two odd, damaged sisters: one hypersensitive and afraid, unable to leave the house, the other a sort of squalid demon prankster who may or may not have murdered the rest of her family for her fragile sister's sake. For me, it is that unique and dreamlike book, rather than "The Lottery," that stands as her masterpiece.

        Screened out
        The author of "Motherless Brooklyn" spotlights five terrific novels overshadowed by their film versions.
        By Jonathan Lethem F our wonderful novels and one whole career obscured by film adaptations, good, bad and indifferent. True Grit by Charles Portis
        The difference between the novel and the film is that the novel, which like Mark Twain's "Huckleberry Finn" and Thomas Berger's "Little Big Man" perfectly captures the naive elegance of the American voice, is about the inner life of the narrator, a 14-year-old girl. The film is, of course, about John Wayne, who in portraying Rooster Cogburn turned his screen image gently on its ear, and won an Oscar. That was nice, but the book should be better remembered. Endless Love by Scott Spencer
        Behind that titter-provoking Brooke Shields movie is one of the best candidates for Great American Novel "The Great Gatsby" meets Terrence Malick's "Badlands," a story of teenage romantic obsession told in a voice as rich, intelligent and full of emotional nuance as the best of Philip Roth or Richard Yates.

And for an essayist as committed to personal disclosure as Lopate is, every gathering of essays into a book is an opportunity to smuggle another chapter of his own autobiography into the hands of readers. In "Totally, Tenderly, Tragically," we see Lopate occasionally stumble at the task of making art in the form of journalistic assignments, while succeeding spectacularly at making the collection more, much more, than the sum of its parts.
