The Fortress of Solitude by Jonathan Lethem is the story of what would happen if two teenaged boys obsessed with comic books heroes actually had superpowers: they would screw up their lives.
Klappentext zu „The Fortress of Solitude “
From the funked-up, messed-up Brookyn of the 1970s to the present day, this stunning novel spans thirty years in the life of two best friends, their families and an entire neighbourhood. From their stories comes the history of soul music, graffiti art, comic books, experimental film and 'rock writing'. A touching and intimate novel on an epic scale.
