As She Climbed Across the Table by Jonathan Lethem
4.0
A desperate audiobook hunt led me to my first Jonathan Lethem. And I will definitely read more. I think genre-bending with a sense of humor and a literary bent might be my new thing. This one was about two professors who are romantically involved, but one is in love with her work. Like, seriously in love with it. It being a weird black hole that you can throw stuff in. Weird, funny, and all sorts of allegorical.
This was good on audio (same guy who narrated one of my all-time favorite audiobooks,Feed!!) but if/when I do read more Lethem, I think I will choose print. There were just too many great lines I wanted to revisit and a little too much symbolism for me to process through earbuds.
