Jonathan Lethem presents A Different Kind of Tension: New and Selected Stories

In conversation with Eugene Lim

Bestselling author and longtime friend of Greenlight Bookstore Jonathan Lethem presents his first short story collection in 10 years, A Different Kind of Tension! A definitive anthology by a master of the form, this dazzling, genre-defying collection features seven major stories published since his last collection, along with his best selected work spanning more than three decades. Fluidly moving between realism and the surreal, the absurd and the mundane, A Different Kind of Tension is a container bursting with couples in trouble, talking animals, technologies on the fritz, life and death. Through it all are people longing to be seen and to connect; to thrive, love, and be forgiven. Lethem reads from and discusses the book with Eugene Lim (Space Bar, Search History, Dear Cyborgs) before an audience Q&A and signing.
