This morning I'm reading essays. This is one of several collections by Lethem. Good for breakfast readings.

A very interesting book; a mix of essays, short stories and the occasional letter, poem or interview. I definitely enjoyed some parts more than others but that was largely down to knowing the references being made, the plus side of not knowing them is I have plenty more books/films/songs to read/watch/hear. The title essay is brilliant in itself and I would recommend this to anyone interested in the creation of art
