| 2. Invisible (Panorama de Narrativas) (Spanish Edition) | 
|
By: Paul Auster Publisher: Anagrama December 01, 2009
I read a somewhat sniffy review of this in the TLS, which suggested this was a meditation on literary form, and obsessed with writing and the pen. On the basis of which I was expecting the worst; of Auster's recent books "Man In The Dark" was interesting but "Travels in the Scriptorium" was woefully self indulgent. But in fact this book has some of Auster's most powerful and memorable writing. Yes... more

| 3. Brooklyn Follies | 
|
By: Auster Paul Publisher: Acted Sud January 01, 2005
While enjoying the ease that came with reading this book I decided to look up online Paul Auster, the word crafter of the story between its covers. I found a youtube interview where Paul explained his style of writing. The author stated that he strives for "Clarity" in his writing. Clarity is exactly how I'd define the writing in this book. The story itself is nothing to rave over, but the way... more

| 5. City of Glass: The Graphic Novel | 
|
By: Paul Auster Publisher: Picador August 01, 2004
City of glass is a absolutely amazing piece of work. Auster Does a great job
at expressing the main characters depression. The art is very simple
which is a amazing contrast to what the theme of the book is, very
complex. which in and of its self is pretty amazing. The art is simply
drawn, but is very well thought out. There are scenes in the... more

| 6. Hunger: A Novel | 
|
By: Knut Hamsun Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux February 28, 1998
The writing may not seem vagrant in regards to other in its genre. I thank Hamsun for that at best. The book seemingly turns the pages itself. It reads like a hurricane, simply lending its hand to our minds eye and lets us into the jaded world of the protagonist and that is what glues the text together, his emotions.
While I don't share the accolades of it being stark reality and frighteningly... more

| 8. The Book of Illusions: A Novel | 
|
By: Paul Auster Publisher: Picador October 27, 2009
Paul Auster's The Book Of Illusions offers the reader pretty much what the title promises. It's a book and there are illusions! By the time we arrive at the end of the tale, however, we perhaps see the two terms as synonyms. Throughout, reality changes to fiction, fantasy becomes fact. An academic's study of an actor's comedy leads to an intimate involvement with the subject's life. That life has... more

| 10. Oracle Night: A Novel | 
|
By: Paul Auster Publisher: Picador April 28, 2009
I like the way the story builds up and then moves on to another story-within-a-story, while being tied back to the main plot again... a less able author wouldn't have been able to weave all the levels together as seamlessly.
For anyone who has ever had their little obsession with stationery, like believing in the power of a blank notebook, or questioned if the writer is just a vessel through... more
