Dear All
I did try to publish on the blog but am uncertain whether it worked and am not incline to figure out what a google account is etc. So here is my comment:
I think another useful initial question that may introduce the student to skeptical thinking is to ask "Why was this book assigned to you?" I would like the ensuing discussion to uncover whether there are generational and other sociological differences between the group who assigned the book and the students who are reading it. Of course there is also the unifying theme of Brooklyn and so it strikes me that students can discuss how Lethem's Brooklyn is and is not their Brooklyn or whatever borough they come from.
