Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In honor of the 25th anniversary of Motherless Brooklyna hardcover omnibus edition of two of the most acclaimed novels by one of America's most inventive novelistsMotherless Brooklyn, winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award, is a compulsively readable riff on the classic noir detective novel. Lionel Essrog is an orphan whose Tourette's symptoms drive him to rip apart language in startling and evocative ways. Charismatic Brooklyn mobster Frank Minna serves as a father figure to Lionel and three of his fellow veterans of the St. Vincent's Home for Boys, employing them in his limo service and detective agency. But when Frank is fatally stabbed, Lionel's world is turned topsy-turvy, and he sets out to untangle the case while trying to keep the words straight in his head. The Fortress of Solitude is the story of two motherless boys, Dylan Ebdus and Mingus Rude, growing up as neighbors in 1970s Brooklyn. Because Dylan is white and Mingus is Black, their friendship is not simple. Neither is their neighborhood, where the entertainments range from muggings to joyous games of stoopball, and where the smallest decisionswhat music you listen to, whether to speak to the kid seated next to you, whether to give up your lunch moneyare laden with potential disaster. Through the knitting and unraveling of the boys' friendship, Jonathan Lethem weaves a rich and emotionally gripping story that encompasses race and class, superheroes, gentrification, funk, hip-hop, graffiti, incarceration, loyalty, and memory.Everyman's Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free cream-colored paper, with full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, European-style half-round spines, and a full-color illustrated jacket.
