The Arrest by Jonathan Lethem
4.0
This is the first Lethem novel I've read, but won't be the last. A peculiar, charming, cynical and deeply personal dystopian novel about a screenwriting fixer who happened to specialize in dystopian scripts, and accidentally becomes stranded in a utopian farm co-op on the coast of Maine. Think "Orson Welles driving a Mad Max vehicle" and you might begin to imagine the horror that stalks the tiny Maine outpost.
