Phoebe, c'est moi!
Just loved this book which I have been listening to, over and over again on Audible. The narrator is fantastic and Lethem is quite the wordsmith, no doubt about it. I have just fallen in love with the way this author writes, so creative and original. This novel is allegorical, suspenseful and very funny at times. I hope he writes more with this heroine; she's a hoot !
