Last night was an evening of celebrations. BookCourt’s expansion is celebrating it’s one year anniversary, and Jonathan Lethem’s newest novel, Chronic City, was released last week to mostly favorable reviews. In front of a packed house, the Lethem vs Chronic City tour brought Mr. Lethem back to the neighborhood for a reading, Q&A, book signing, followed by even more reading. The crowd was great, and the Q&A both humorous and informative. He also apologized to all Russian readers who might be offended by this book.

Jonathan is attempting to read the entire book, all 480 pages, over the course of eight nights. However, after two events, Mr. Lethem is only about 40 pages into it. With just five more stops before wrapping up back at BookCourt on December 4, don’t fret if you missed last night. The return promises to be an all-night marathon.
