In a volume he describes as "a series of covert and not-so-covert autobiographical pieces," Jonathan Lethem explores the nature of cultural obsession from western films and comic books, to the music of Pink Floyd and the New York City subway. Along the way, he shows how each of these "voyages out from himself" has led him to the source of his beginnings as a writer. The Disappointment Artistis a series of windows onto the collisions of art, landscape, and personal history that formed Lethem s richly imaginative, searingly honest perspective on life. A touching, deeply perceptive portrait of a writer in the making."
