clap clap blog: we have moved

QV points us to a new Jonathan Lethem story, which is actually an excerpt from his upcoming novel, The Fortress of Solitude. It's on the new Yorker site, so it'll be gone in a week.

It is, as Mike Reynolds promised, about race. Much more on this later.

Beginning of one section:

The last thing Dylan Ebdus’s mother, Rachel, had taught him, before she left Dylan’s father and vanished from their home, was the word “gentrification.”

End of same section:

Dylan Ebdus, one-man integration unit.

Very very exciting. Go read.
