The Fortress of Solitude Reviews

The story of two boys from Brooklyn, a white boy called Dylan Ebdus and a black boy, Mingus Rude. We follow their lives from childhood, and breathe in the atmosphere of the Boerum Hill area of Brooklyn and its inhabitants. It starts in the 1970s and comes up to the present day, a massive sprawling novel full of sound and colour which all goes to make up a portrait of American life in the 20th century. It is stuffed with the graffiti, comic books, crime and violence of its era. Truly an epic novel and one which deserves to be read at its own pace. Genuinely unusual.
