From America's most inventive novelist, Jonathan Lethem, comes this compelling and compulsive riff on the classic detective novel. Lionel Essrog is Brooklyn's very own Human Freakshow, an orphan whose Tourettic impulses drive him to bark, count, and rip apart language in startling and original ways. Together with three veterans of the St. Vincent's Home for Boys, he works for small-time mobster Frank Minna's limo service cum detective agency. Life without Frank, the charismatic King of Brooklyn, would be unimaginable.

Engaging and Entertaining
Revisado: 08-06-18
This is a "Top 10" book for me. The crazy characters are so vividly wrought. Can you imagine an orphan with Tourettes Syndrome turned amateur detective? Stake outs are a challenge, to say the least. The author gives great insight into the mind of this sympathetic character as he navigates his arduous life. The narration is spot-on and dynamic.

The Art of Detection is another spellbinding tale starring San Francisco homicide inspector Kate Martinelli. The victim is Sherlock Holmes aficionado Philip Gilbert, whose collection of priceless memorabilia is definitely worth killing for. It's up to Kate and her trusted partner Al Hawkin to follow the clues and bring a rather peculiar murderer to Justice.

pro-gay agenda
Revisado: 08-23-06
This is a clever story with a very pro-homosexual agenda. Every character except one of the detectives is gay or lesbian. The main character, all of her friends, the victim, the suspect, and a forensic investigator are all homosexual. Even in the Sherlockian embedded story the victim, suspect, and friends are gay. I know the story takes place in San Francisco, but aren't there any straight people in central California?
