Jonathan Lethem's newest novel "Dissident Gardens" features some beautifully crafted prose on a range of unfashionable topics: American Communism, hippies, Quakers, and academia.
...Of course I was very interested in these topics.
Here is an instore appearance by Lethem in conversation with another terrific writer Daniel Handler (a.k.a. Lemony Snicket).
This was recorded on September 27, 2013 at Books, Inc. - Opera Plaza in San Francisco.
