Rare, a risk taker, experimental, and dazzling are just a few words to describe Jonathan Lethem, acclaimed writer and critic. He visits Soundcheck to talk about how he weaves music into his books, or how the words in his books complement the music. Also, Bang on a Can founders Julia Wolfe, David Lang and Michael Gordon are here. They preview the 15th annual, boundary-smashing Bang on a Can Marathon at Symphony Space.
