Bestselling author Jonathan Lethem delivers a hilarious novel about love, art, and what it's like to be young in Los Angeles. Lucinda Hoekke's daytime gig as a telephone operator at the Complaint Line—an art gallery's high-minded installation piece—is about as exciting as listening to dead air. Her real passion is playing bass in her forever struggling, forever unnamed band. But recently a frequent caller, the Complainer, as Lucinda dubs him, has captivated her with his philosophical musings. When Lucinda's band begins to incorporate the Complainer's catchy, existential phrases into their song lyrics, they are suddenly on the cusp of their big break. There is only one problem: the Complainer wants in. BONUS MATERIAL: This edition includes an excerpt from Jonathan Lethem's Dissident Gardens.

Hi. My name is Symphony and Im still a virgin, sadly. I mean, Ive had crushes, Ive had ex-boyfriends and others, but they didnt do anything. Hell, I even befriended a slut in high school, but the guys that she brought were disgusting. I dont know how she even dealt with them, but then again, she didnt have any morals herself. I mean, why would she be a slut if she had sense? Sluts dont have sense; I mean, thats unheard of! Then again, I was looking for lovebecause all I ever wanted was love, almost the type of love my dad gives me but without the whole hes related to me thing. Yeah, my dad is related to me, so he has to be nice to me. My dad is paying my bills while Im in school. For that I am grateful for him. I love him to death even though he watches soap operas, General Hospital to be exact. Does he know that I watch soap opera clips on YouTube? No, he doesnt need to know.

Lucinda Hoekke works at The Complaint Line, listening to anonymous callers air their random grievances. She becomes captivated by the ruminations of one particular caller, and they fall desperately in love. Lucinda also plays bass in a struggling band whose lyricist, Bedwin, is suffering from writer's block, and whose lead singer, Matthew, has kidnapped a kangaroo from the local zoo. Hoping to re-charge the band's creative energy, Lucinda 'suggests' some of The Complainer's philosophical musings to Bedwin, who transforms them into brilliant songs - with disastrous consequences. What results is a comedy of plagiarism, usurpation, and sex, with delightful echoes of Jane Austen's Emma
