"The Fortress of Solitude" resonates not just as a vibrant portrait of Brooklyn in the '70s but as a deeply human story of friendship and the search for identity amidst the complexities of race and class. Lethem's prose is both robust and poetic, weaving superheros into a narrative that's as much about growing up as it is about the heartaches of gentrification and the power of nostalgia. It'll strike a chord if you're into tales that aren't afraid to dive deep into the cultural fabric of a time and place.
