" This collection of essays sparkles, and perhaps makes me glad it has taken me this long to "discover" Lethem. "Izations," about the treatment of our shared hero narratives like Spider Man and Bat Man across platforms and short, recent generations, is sweet and insightful. The long pieces on James Brown and Dylan are great. Lethem has read so many damn books himself it makes me kinda mad, resentful even - like they're all his. Not sure whether I ever get to his fiction. Loved this. "
