One the irrepressibly inventive Jonathan Lethem could weld science fiction and the Western into a mesmerizing novel of exploration and otherness, sexual awakening and loss. At the age of 13 Pella Marsh loses her mother and her home on the scorched husk that is planet Earth. Her sorrowing family emigrates to the Planet of the Archbuilders, whose mysterious inhabitants have names like Lonely Dumptruck and Hiding Kneel--and a civilization that and frightens their human visitors.
 On this new world, spikily independent Pella becomes as uneasy envoy between two species. And at the same time is unwilling drawn to a violent loner who embodies all the paranoid machismo of the frontier ethic. Combining the tragic grandeur of John Ford's The Searchers and the sexual tension of Lolitanbsp;and transporting them to a planet light years, Girl in Landscapenbsp;is a tour de force.nbsp;… (més)

Outstanding book with amazing worldbuilding and a lot of subtle nuances and details. ( )

La heroína es una joven de catorce años, Pella Marsh, cuya madre muere justo cuando su familia abandona un Brooklyn postapocalíptico por un planeta recientemente descubierto. Cegada por el odio a su padre, y perturbada por una atracción irresistible hacia el viril y peligroso arrendatario de la pequeña colonia planetaria, Pella participará en una carrera hacia el descubrimiento que tendrá consecuencias trágicas e irrevocables para los humanos de la comunidad, así como para los exóticos nativos.

This story is a far different narrative then either Fortress of Solitude or Motherless Brooklyn; so much so its nearly as if the book was written by a different author. Set in the future, Pella Marsh, the central character observes behaviors of those in a small community who have left Earth and made their home on an alien planet. The resident alien culture remains a mystery; the odd potato plants consumed and how a strange virus impacts those who aren't medicated makes up the gist of the story along with Pella's interactions with other Earthlings and aliens. While I'd love to recommend it, I cannot. ( )

Less about settling into another planet than it is about human connections and intentions, especially when faced with the alien and unknown.

Lethem's prose made me want to go to the Planet of the Archbuilders. See the Archbuilders, or what's left of them at least. See the ruins. The first third of the book, describing ozoneless Earth, was enjoyable as well.

I guess the only criticism I have is how the ending didn't feel all that satisfying. I don't know how it could have been though. ( )

The book started off promising, lagged in the middle, and left off neatly at the end. My first full length work by Lethem. I'm anxious to read Gun, with Occasional Music before the miniseries debuts. ( )

The sight of the montains far away was sometimes so comprehensible to Natalie, that she forced tears into her eyes, or lay on the grass, unable, after a point, to absorb it ... or to turn it into more than her own capacity for containing it; she was not able to leave the fields and the mountains alone where she found them, but required herself to take them in and use them, a carrier of something simultaneously real and unreal ...
--Shirley Jackson, Hangsaman
Screw ambiguity. Perversion and corruption masquerade as ambiguity. I don't trust ambiguity.
