Lethem, Eggers,Zadie, Pynchon, Roth

Sounds like a pretty good year for books, doesn't it? Here's Jonathan Lethem on a recent comics project and plans for a novel this fall. (The Millions/Comic Book Resources)

Lethem said there were no plans in place, at the moment, to write more comics. “I really was tremendously lucky to enjoy the collaboration with these artists, and the particular set of circumstances that led to this work would be difficult to duplicate,” he explained. “I’ve been spoiled, perhaps. As for other characters, I don’t have any I’m particularly fantasizing about writing, but I’d probably be more inclined to do a supervillain than a hero.”

In closing, Lethem teased CBR readers with a glimpse into the world he is creating for his yet-to-be-named next novel. “It is coming together, and it should be published in the fall of 2009. It still doesn’t have a title, but I can tell you, it’s set on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, it’s strongly influenced by Saul Bellow, Philip K. Dick, Charles Finney and Hitchcock’s ‘Vertigo’ and it concerns a circle of friends including a faded child-star actor, a cultural critic, a hack ghost-writer of autobiographies, and a city official. And it’s long and strange.”
