Having read lots of SF and most of Lethem’s work, I find this characterization puzzling

Former science fiction writer Jonathan Lethem, then? Genre apostate Jonathan Lethem?

Secular gospel immediately made me think of The Staple Singers. But “Respect Yourself” and “I’ll Take You There” aren’t rarities.
