A review by nightchough
Chronic City by Jonathan Lethem

2.0

After this book I may just give up on Jonathan Lethem. His earlier books were extremely creative and genre-bending. But his last few books have been more insular and aimed mainstream.

The main character of this one is Chase Insteadman, a Manhattan socialite who lives off residuals earned as a child star on a much-beloved sitcom. He meets some people and does some stuff; John Irving could have written this book; I'll stop with that.
