Those of you who enjoyed Lethem's contribution to The Book of Other People – as we most certainly did here at Copacetic – will be pleased to discover that it was an excerpt from this novel, about which David Shields has to say:  "I'm reminded of the well-rubbed Kafka line:  A book must be the axe to break the frozen sea within us.  Lethem's book, with incredible fury, aspires to do little less.  It's almost certainly his best novel.  It's genuinely great."  How about them apples!  IMPORT SPECIAL
