"Striking and fascinating though these ideas may be, Lethem often undermines their significance with bizarre, irrational, or meaningless developments. Frown, shrug, pass on." Kirkus Reviews
Review
"An author to be reckoned with." Newsweek
Review
"One of the most fertile imaginations among America's young writers." San Francisco Chronicle
Review
"It is the less discernable minglings of the everyday with strange futurity that give Lethem's commonplace themes their awful power and lend his best stories an epic, lyrical power that makes them memorable." Los Angeles Times
