Produktinformationen zu „Lethem, Jonathan “
Vorliegender Roman ist eine rasante Detektivgeschichte in der Tradition Raymond Chandlers, die in einer nahezu postmodernen Landschaft spielt. Bizarre, evolutionstechnisch manipulierte Gestalten bevölkern eine Szenerie, in der Nachrichten ganz durch Musik ersetzt wurden und legale Drogen wie Forgettol und Akzeptol ein sorgenfreies Leben ermöglichen.
Klappentext zu „Lethem, Jonathan “
The first novel by Jonathan Lethem (author of the award-winning Motherless Brooklyn) is a science-fiction mystery, a dark and funny post-modern romp serving further evidence that Lethem is the distinctive voice of a new generation.
Conrad Metcalf has problems. He has a monkey on his back, a rabbit in his waiting room, and a trigger-happy kangaroo on his tail. (Maybe evolution therapy is not such a good idea). He's been shadowing Celeste, the wife of an Oakland urologist. Maybe falling in love with her a little at the same time. When the doctor turns up dead, Metcalf finds himself caught in a crossfire between the boys from the Inquisitor's Office and gangsters who operate out of the back room of the Fickle Muse.
