Description
Lucinda Hoekke works at the Complaint Line, listening to anonymous callers air their random grievances. She becomes captivated by the ruminations of one particular caller, and they fall desperately in love. Lucinda also plays bass guitar in a struggling band whose lyricist, Bedwin, is suffering from writer's block, and whose lead singer, Matthew, has kidnapped a kangaroo from the local zoo.
Hoping to re-charge the band's creative energy, Lucinda suggests some of the Complainer's philosophical musings to Bedwin, who transforms them into brilliant songs – with disastrous consequences.
What results is a comedy of plagiarism, usurpation, and sex, with delightful echoes of Jane Austen's Emma.

You Don't Love Me Yet by Jonathan Lethem has been praised for its smart and humorous approach, offering a satirical take on art, commerce, and the façade of coolness, as noted by "Los Angeles Times". "Rolling Stone" describes it as a captivating read fit for a weekend, while "The Independent" appreciates its gentle romantic comedy that comments sincerely on LA's unique anonimity. Greil Marcus in "Interview" highlights the novel's captivating depiction of musical moments shared between band members and their audience.
