Shifting from /Main/. Also, to link single words surround them with braces, like this. Don\'t use redirects, as that\'s not what they\'re for, the whole page will be redirected, and redirect markup is very sensitive and requires several sets of the escpae sequence ( and ) to disable it. Thanks!

Motherless Brooklyn is a postmodern novel by Jonathan Lethem which tells the tale of Lionel Essrog, low level gangster/detective extraordinary, afflicted with Tourette's Syndrome. Essrog works for Brooklyn Gangster Frank Minna, as one of his Minna Men, along with three boys he grew up with in a Brooklyn orphanage. When Frank is killed, Lionel takes it upon himself to solve the crime. Taking his ques from hard boiled detective films, Lionel finds himself making enemies of elderly mobsters and a zen Buddhist center. The mystery deepens when Lionel becomes involved with Minna's ex wife as well as Buddist practitioner Kim, and learns more about his old boss and father figure than he ever thought possible.
It's a sweet, exciting, kind of sad story that won the 1999 National Book Critics Circle Award and the 200 Gold Dagger award for Crime fiction. A film adaptation (set in the 1950s) is planned to be released in 2013, directed, adapted and starring Edward Norton.
