When I want a well-written book with a little imagination that I can knock off in a few hours, I pick up a book by Lethem. Amnesia Moon is my third, after Gun with Occasional Music and As She Climbed Across the Table. Compared to those two, I found Amnesia Moon superior in writing style and imagination. Lethem strings together his flights of imaginative fancy better than he did in Gun and has more of them than he did in Table. Also, despite the episodic nature of this story of an amnesiac who travels between alternate realities in a dreamlike odyessy, Lethem achieves a strong narrative flow to keep his audience reading.
However, though he gives tantalizing hints as to the nature of the disaster that has turned the world into a patchwork of alternate societies with different pasts and rules, Lethem never commits to an answer. The solutions to the central mysteries our hero attempts to solve in his journey -- who he is, what happened, what his role in it was -- are promised, but Lethem reneges at the last moment. Where the answers are not important to the story, this does not bother me. (See K.W. Jeter's novel Farewell Horizontal for a strange setting that is never explained, and in which the lack of explanation is no detriment to the book.) But here, I got the sense Lethem would just plain rather be obscure -- or worse, that he could not think of a satisfying explanation and hoped that his failure to give us one would be written off as artistry.
The journey to this unsatisfying ending is the best stuff of Lethem's I've read. I was completely absorbed by the story, enjoyed the characters, and loved his style. This would have been a four star book if he'd been able to follow through to the end.
