About the book

This study takes as its starting point Lethem's characteristic collisions and mutations of genres - detective fiction and science fiction; road narrative and science fiction; coming-of-age stories on extraterrestrial frontiers. It proceeds chronologically and takes as its main focus Lethem's novels, with reference to related short stories, showing how the bold, rather ostentatious genre clashes in early novels make way for more subtle genre mergings later on.
