Norton, who spent nearly twenty years adapting Jonathan Lethem’s classic book, which won the National Book Critics Circle Award for Fiction when it was released in 1999, has turned it into a perennial noir story: a narrative that might as well be from the end of the era of literary Modernism, rather than distantly aflame with postmodernism. The first thing you’ll notice about Edward Norton’s Motherless Brooklyn adaptation is probably the thing you’ve heard the most about it so far: that it’s set forty years earlier than the novel from which it takes its name, in the mid-50s rather than the mid-90s.
