The follow-up novel to Lethem's wildly successful Fortress of Solitude, YDLMY (what's with all the long titles this month?) tells the tale of a help-line operator who falls in love with a caller -- "the complainer" -- but still has time to play bass in a rock 'n' roll band along with a lead singer who works at the zoo, and a drummer who works in a "masturbation boutique." All proceeds swimmingly until "the complainer" joins the band... at which point things take a screwball turn...
