I just finished reading a new novel, The Fortress of Solitude by Jonathan Lethem, most of which takes place in a poor neighborhood in Brooklyn. Thanks to WW's input, I now understand the frequent references to ailanthus, which form a kind of subtext within the story. The ailanthus trees keep cropping up in this derelict part of the city, one more depressing aspect of the lives of the people who dwell there.
