SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE, MOTHERLESS BROOKLYN IS RELEASED IN CINEMAS NOVEMBER 2019 Lionel Essrog, a.k.a. the Human Freakshow, is a victim of Tourette's syndrome (an uncontrollable urge to shout out nonsense, touch every surface in reach, rearrange objects). Local tough guy Frank Minna hires the adolescent Lionel and three other orphans from St Vincent's Home for Boys and grooms them to become the Minna Men, a fly-by-night detective-agency-cum-limoservice. Then one terrible day Frank is murdered, and Lionel must become a real detective. With crackling dialogue, a dazzling evocation of place, and a plot which mimics Tourette's itself in its freshness and capacity to shock, Motherless Brooklyn is a bravura performance: funny, tense, touching, and extravagant.

This is one of my all-time favorite New York novels. It's hilarious and tragic, and captures perfectly the scruffy Brooklyn milieu in which it's set. The story is quite strange -- there's a mystery involving the mafia, an Eastern-mystic guru, a doorman, and a car service, all told by a detective (?) with Tourette's Syndrome, still traumatized by his childhood in an orphanage. The literary energy just whirls you along.
