You Don't Love Me Yet

The acclaimed author of The Fortress of Solitude turns a keen, affectionate eye on the paradoxes of love and art. Los Angeleno Lucinda Hoekke is surprised to find love in the course of her job fielding cranky anonymous phone-callers. But the inspirational romance that blossoms for her causes no end of trouble for the alternative band with whom she plays bass. A comedy of plagiarism, usurpation, and sex, with delicious echoes of Emma and A Midsummer Night s Dream, this is another exhibition of Jonathan Lethem s prodigious talent.
