LETHEM, JONATHAN
From the critically acclaimed author of You Don´t Love Me Yet comes a searing portrayal of Manhattanites wrapped up in their own delusions, desires and lies. Chase Insteadman is a handsome, inoffensive former child-star, living a reoutine of dinner parties and engagements. His popularity is mainly the result of the tabloid news coverage following his hiancée, trapped by a layer of low-orbit mines on the International Space Station. Beautiful and tawdry, tragic and forgiving, Lethem´s new novel is as always, utterly unique.
