I enjoy reading about forthcoming books that I will buy and get around to a year or two later, so I was perusing this Millions preview of fall releases when I received a happy surprise. Jonathan Lethem has a new book coming out called Chronic City. I’ve been a fan of Lethem since devouring his coming-of-age epic Fortress of Solitude a few years ago. Even better, Chronic City is based on the terrific short story “Lostronaut“, one of the few New Yorker fiction pieces I bothered to actually read. I might have to find a way to sneak this into my book club’s suggestion box in the next few months.
