PRAISE
“We already knew that Jonathan Lethem is a great novelist, but who knew that he’s also one of our most ingenious Pop poets? Pick up this book and you’ll find it hard not to sing along: “Marxist thoughts come easily to me/ Almost as easy as watching tv.” Horse With No Cake is the postrock, post-modern, post-post songbook of our times.” —Tom Comitta, author of The Nature Book
“Rants and rumination, cryptic and caustic and crystal clear in equal doses.” —Steve Wynn, songwriter, The Dream Syndicate
“Jonathan Lethem is as serious about poetry as Roberto Bolaño was. He hits it out of the park and he’s not even playing!” —Gloria Frym, poet, author of How Proust Ruined My Life & Other Essays
