Jonathan Lethem received critical accolades for his novels Motherless Brooklyn and The Fortress of Solitude, both of which were set in Brooklyn, where he was raised and spends part of every year. His most recent novel, though, You Don’t Love Me Yet, is set in L.A., where he worked as a young man. Lethem has written in a range of literary genres and is known for his fondness for popular culture. In this free-ranging interview, Lethem will discuss his ideas, his life, and his work. This program is co-sponsored by Con Edison.
