You Don't Love Me Yet

You Don't Love Me Yet (2007) is a comic novel about alternative music from Jonathan Lethem, set in modern Los Angeles.

"[1] Lucinda Hoekke is an underemployed woman in her late twenties, playing bass in a fledgling Los Angeles rock group.

There are three other members: Matthew, the group's lead singer and Lucinda's ex-boyfriend, who kidnaps a kangaroo from the local zoo to save it from boredom; Denise, the clear-headed drummer, works at "No Shame," a sex shop; and Bedwin, the group's composer and lead guitarist, who is very fragile and suffers from writer's block.

Lucinda takes a job at a performance art project called "Complaint Line," listening to anonymous callers talk about their grievances.

[citation needed] The novel was noted for incorporating the real-life "Happy Foot/Sad Foot Sign" in Silver Lake, Los Angeles into its plot.
