Often favorably compared to contemporaries Michael Chabon and Lev Grossman, New York Times best-selling article author Jonathan Lethem received the National Book Critics Circle Award. In his post-apocalyptic book Amnesia Moon, he introduces a young guy named Chaos who can seemingly remake actuality in his dreams. Setting off on a grand experience, Chaos attempts to learn the secrets behind the world’s destruction. ‘Lethem tempers a liberal dose of quirky surrealism with interesting, believable characterizations and a convincing, imaginative story line.’-Booklist
