The stunning new novel from the author of Motherless Brooklyn, The Fortress of Solitude spans thirty years in the lives of its characters, and in the life of a neighbourhood in Brooklyn. Within these pages too are the history of soul music, of graffiti art, of experimental film and 'rock writing', and other possibly even more dubious forms of cultural activity.The novel has a cast of over a hundred characters, more than fifty speaking parts. These include two sets of sons and fathers: Mingus Rude and Barrett Rude Jr., and Dylan and Abraham Ebdus. And those four alone will break your heart.
