Motherless Brooklyn
Motherless Brooklyn is a novel by Jonathan Lethem that was first published in 1999. The story is set in Brooklyn, and follows Lionel Essrog, a detective who has Tourette's, a disorder marked by involuntary tics. Essrog works for Frank Minna, a small-time neighborhood owner of a "seedy and makeshift" detective agency, who is shot with his own gun. Together, Essrog and three other characters—Tony, Danny, and Gilbert—call themselves "the Minna Men".
