Jonathan Lethem: IMG Stops: On Those Things My New Novel Forgot to Be About, Maybe

0 comments By Jonathan Lethem

For me, there's a weird, unfathomable gulf — I almost wrote gulp — between the completion of a novel and its publication. Some days this duration feels interminable, as though the book has... Continue »

I have searched for this book from a vague memory of Moomintroll and Little My. I read this book as a kid, and have recently begun searching for it, without remembering the title or author. I just found it at a tiny little lending library in Costa Rica!

I suspect that the reason this book was nestled deep in childhood memories all these years, was because the writing awakened something in me that made me want to write. I still want to write, and now, 20 years later, I am smiling to myself as I re-read about Moomintroll awakening alone in the middle of the winter, when he should be fast ahibernating.

Must be good to have remembered it so very many years.
