Bestselling author Jonathan Lethem delivers a hilarious novel about love, art, and what it's like to be young in Los Angeles. Lucinda Hoekke's daytime gig as a telephone operator at the Complaint Line--an art gallery's high-minded installation piece--is about as exciting as listening to dead air. Her real passion is playing bass in her forever struggling, forever unnamed band. But recently a frequent caller, the Complainer, as Lucinda dubs him, has captivated her with his philosophical musings. When Lucinda's band begins to incorporate the Complainer's catchy, existential phrases into their song lyrics, they are suddenly on the cusp of their big break. There is only one problem: the Complainer wants in.

Industry Reviews

"Smart and funny . . . a biting satirical take on the intersection of art and commerce, integrity and faï¿½ade. . . . 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
