Jonathan Lethem is the New York Times bestselling author of ten novels, including The Fortress of Solitude and Motherless Brooklyn, winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award. He currently teaches creative writing at Pomona College in California.
'The thing about the best Lethem novels - and I'm thinking back to
early in his career, toMotherless Brooklyn and The Fortress of
Solitude - is that they were such fun. I've readeverything he's
written since and rarely has a novel approached the sheer
pleasureof The Arrest... It is, in short, a blast.' - Observer
'Exuberantly clever... extremely strange, twistily plotted,
fizzingly written, not alittle absurd and lingeringly mysterious.'
- Daily Telegraph
'Lethem's pithy chapters - some poetic, some sharp, others both -
bring thiseerily timely tale to a grim, if wry, conclusion.' -
Daily Mail
'Inventive, entertaining and superbly written' - New York Times
