Radical Lesbians Featured in the New Yorker

[rich]

and another novel slated for 2010 that takes place in Newark in 1944.
31 books--the man is still going strong tho like A-Rod and the home
run crown he's got a ways to catch Updike (who's bio will be written
by Adam Begley from the NY Observer)

Jonathan Lethem has a new novel out in September which sounds strange
enough to be worth a peek, maybe
