Tom and Gav try Anthropomorphism on for size in this discussion of Jonathan Lethem's breakthrough debut novel.
It’s difficult to separate Jonathan Lethem from this exhaustive podcast series about Bennington College and it’s influence on American literature of the 80’s/90’s, but this is the episode that deals specifically with the publication of Gun, with occasional music and Motherless Brooklyn. You can dive as deeply as you like…
...and here's Jonathan Lethem talking about his favourite books with a big helping of Non-Bennington Autobiography to go along.
Lethem's article, The Ecstasy of Influence, which he talks about at the top of the above interview.
German listeners will already be familiar with this very successful example of anthropomorphic comedy involving, coincidentally, a Kangaroo.
Metcalf’s world was probably shaped in large part by Flexians, the professional fixers of tawdry privatized and outsourced government policies that meet the needs of the private sector.
