Multiple Personality in “Motherless Brooklyn”: Novel by Jonathan Lethem and New Movie by Edward Norton

Edward Norton is known for past movies featuring multiple personality; for example, “Fight Club.” Is that issue what prompted him to make a movie out of Lethem’s novel? Is anything of the novel’s multiple personality in the movie? I don’t know. The issue is not discussed in The New York Times movie review: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/31/movies/motherless-brooklyn-review.html

The New York Times review of Lethem’s novel does not discuss its major, but unlabeled, depiction of multiple personality: https://www.nytimes.com/1999/10/17/books/what-makes-him-tic.html
