	Comic Book Resources - CBR News - The Comic Wire
		Tracing the paths of Dylan Ebdus and Mingus Rude through music, comics, movies and movements, and their shift into graffiti, drugs and art, Jonathan Lethem's "Fortress of Solitude" is a massive sprawl of pop culture and an exercise in memory.
		Lethem grew up on the same Dean Street in "Fortress," living with his artist father and his brother, Blake, who would soon join the ranks of the almost-mythic headliners of the NYC graffiti scene, his mother dying when he was 14.
		Documenting the life of a neighborhood and several eras of American life, "Fortress of Solitude" at first glance bites off more than it can chew, but everything is measured, equal parts methodical and freeform.

		THE FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE By Jonathan Lethem Doubleday 470 pp., $26
		And now comes Jonathan Lethem with "The Fortress of Solitude," a novel of boundless energy and startling insight about the conundrum adults impose on children by demanding that they live the ideal of integration that we've been unable to demonstrate ourselves.
		Then again, Dylan never regains the breathtaking verve of his childhood either, and that ultimately is the tragedy of "The Fortress of Solitude." Integration still exceeds our grasp, a dream of innocence lost, articulated by Lethem in all its wondrous complexity.

		By the time Dylan begins to break out of the fortress of solitude that has been his life, readers have shared his pain and understood his dreams.
		There are some beautiful moments in the Fortress of Solitude--moments of crystalline description, of poetic evocation of time and place, moments of heartbreaking human interaction.
		Though others have described The Fortress of Solitude as "ambitious," "poetic," and all sorts of other grandiose adjectives, as I read it I saw it a little differently.

	The Fortress of Solitude
		Lethem’s breakout book, Motherless Brooklyn, was a widely respected bestseller, and he has become one of the hottest young authors in the U.S. We knew The Fortress of Solitude was going to be about our neighborhood, the history of its gentrification, and the tortured and complex dynamics of race.
		A white boy might dream of becoming invisible, while a fl man, whether or not he’s read Ralph Ellison, might worry that he already is. The ring may, then, seem like a distraction or a crutch, a bit of game playing to soothe the novelist’s well-established postmodernist allergy to realism.
		But I believe their shared childhood longings – illuminated here in a moving and ultimately heartbreaking way – reflect the desire not just of Dylan or Mingus, or even Lethem, but of so many of us, that our neighborhoods could, instead of fortresses of solitude, be places of friendship and justice.

		The Fortress of Solitude is Lethem's fifth and most ambitious novel.
		Lest you think The Fortress of Solitude is some sort of angst-ridden reminiscence, the novel is also about the 1970s, music, comics, magic rings, acceptance, getting along, getting by, and getting lost.
		Lethem may seem like one of them, but in The Fortress of Solitude, he proves that he's one of us.
