I dont think i can sufficiently express how cool it is to read a book about someone with Tourette's Syndrome, and for the portrayal of it to be so recognisable to me. Lethem does not have Tourettes and I entered this book with a level of fear that it would be a lazy and stereotypical portral of TS but no! The author must have spoken to real people with Tourettes for him to write such a nuanced and grounded portrayal.
