Things to focus on instead of working off that brunch.
"Brooklyn is repulsive with novelists, it’s cancerous with novelists."
Jonathan Lethem, Zadie Smith, and other literary notables press the publisher to accept union demands.
On the potential remake: "Why not cast an authentic homeless person?"
Lethem: “I felt starved for something booklike in this book-resembling object.”
Was watching John Stockton play really "like being trapped in the missionary position for two decades"?
"I always wrote with the subconscious — or conscious — knowledge that who knows, Updike might read this."
Plus: James Bond not interested in spying for the other team.
Lethem tells us his new book is a "long, strange novel about the Upper East Side." So, obviously, it'll be like Gossip Girl, right?
