Jonathan Lethem, the Roy E. Disney Professor of Creative
Writing at Pomona College, is the critically acclaimed author of
"Motherless Brooklyn," "The Fortress of Solitude,"
"Chronic City," and "Dissident Gardens". Back in 2013 he collaborated with Raymond Pettibon on
a monographic survey of the artist's work, which embraces a spectrum of
American "high" and "low" culture, from the deviations of
marginal youth to art history, literature, sports, religion, politics, and
sexuality.
Raymond, who is most well-known for his iconic punk rock graphics, is as relevant as ever, although not the best speaker. In fact as of late his work has been licensed
to NYC trend setters Supreme. The conversation starts out a little awkward but
as things move along Raymond becomes more comfortable and opens up more about
his process, collaborations, comics, film making and more.
