Gun, With Occasional Music by Jonathan Lethem. Harcourt, 1994. Cover by Michael Koelsch.
Harcourt's sci-fi tribute to Philip Marlowe is also, in its way, a tribute to the New Wave: Roger Zelazny, Ron Goulart, Norman Spinrad. It's bursting with ideas, deadpan humour, the surreal made real and ideas taken to the extreme because the names sound funny.
It's a twisted future of course; babies with adult intelligence, sentient animals, legalised drugs, social credit. A Private Inquisitor moving through the world is a great character to play with. But it's not trying to go too deep into themes: this book knows it's playing the pastiche game so it plays it with wit and brio, moving quickly over the surface of things to disorientate you before smacking you in the face with a Chandleresque bon mot.
It's dystopia, but with the right touch of absurdity to make you smile. “Down these mean streets a man must go who is not himself mean." Faber reissued this in 2001, but if you can find the 1994 edition it's a handsome piece for your bookshelf.

Sonny Rollins was the last surviving musician from “A Great Day in Harlem”, the iconic 1958 photograph by Art Kane that brought together dozens of jazz legends in Harlem.

Melodies & Masterpieces@SVG__Collection
Rest in peace, Sonny Rollins… Nicknamed the “Saxophone Colossus,” he reshaped modern jazz with fearless improvisation, a towering tenor tone, and timeless classics like Saxophone Colossus and The Bridge. One of the last great bebop giants, his sound and spirit changed jazz forever.
