09.20: Jonathan Lethem

2013-08-13 23:35:39| Powells Books Events Calendar

Dissident Gardens (Doubleday), the dazzling new novel from Jonathan Lethem, is an epic yet intimate family saga about three generations of all-American radicals. As the decades pass — from the parlor communism of the '30s, McCarthyism, the civil rights movement, ragged '70s communes, the romanticization of the Sandinistas, up to the Occupy movement of the moment — we come to understand through Lethem's extraordinarily vivid storytelling that the personal may be political but the political, even more so, is personal. Brilliantly constructed as it weaves across time and among characters, Dissident Gardens is riotous and haunting, satiric and sympathetic — and a joy to read.
