Lucinda works in an art installation called The Complaint Line, listening to anonymous callers at their random grievances. And one day she falls desperately in love with a regular caller. She also plays bass in a struggling band whose lyricist, Bedwin, is suffering from writer's block, and whose lead singer, Matthew, has kidnapped a kangaroo from the local zoo to save it from ennui.

When Lucinda 'suggests' some of The Complainer's philosophical musings to Bedwin he transforms them into brilliant songs and the band gets its big break - an invitation to appear on L.A.'s premiere alternative radio show. The only problem is The Complainer. He insists on joining the band - with disastrous consequences.

Industry Reviews

"Smart and funny . . . a biting satirical take on the intersection of art and commerce, integrity and facade. . . . A send up of all things cool." --"Los Angeles Times" "Fit to be devoured over a weekend." --"Rolling Stone" "A gentle and hip romantic comedy [that] breezes through LA's iconoclastic anonymity with a refreshing sincerity." --"The Independent" "His best since" Gun, With Occasional Music" . . . what makes the book sing are Lethem's accounts of what happens when a crowd on the street hears a band inside a building . . . or when for a moment four musicians understand each other better than anyone of them understands him or herself." --Greil Marcus," Interview"
