...utterly divergent. I don’t think Pharrell and Chad have ever really cared about the voice in their music (ignoring the former’s penchant for crooning), or about “musicality” by extension, because their tracks don’t seem tailor-made for anyone. “Hot In Herre” may still be their finest moment, with its awesomely self-assured drum break that, especially on the floor, feels like James Brown made into Robocop.

But the cold war is long over, and at 72, he has written a searing, startling novel that sweeps through much of the 20th century and up to the present conflict with Iraq, and it may shock his devoted fans. Absolute Friends (Little, Brown; 455 pages) is a work...
