Review: A Deep and Layered Novel - A beautifully written and complex story. Takes some time to get into, but worth the effort for literary fans. One of my favorite authors!
Review: Characters who enter your world - A small cast of characters in this novel, searching for their identity, seeking to find who they are with mixed success. These are characters I can believe in, flaws and all. They look for love and connection, a place to belong, but are unable to fully accept what they find. This book isn't up to the brilliant creativity of two of his other novels, 4321 and New York Trilogy, but it's still very good. The central point of the story is a most unlikely coincidence, but without coincidences we wouldn't have much fiction to read. All in all, an exceptional novel.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Characters who enter your world
*by J***N on October 5, 2023*

A small cast of characters in this novel, searching for their identity, seeking to find who they are with mixed success. These are characters I can believe in, flaws and all.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Down and Out in Central Park, NY
*by J***N on March 21, 2006*

Auster is a master at depicting the lowest level of the human condition. He does so here again, as he did in his non-fiction book, "Hand to Mouth." Auster understands penury and desolation as only those who have been there do. This understanding is truly because he has been there himself; and speaks from personal experience. The book is one of redemption. Can one who has sunk to the level of sleeping on the ground in Central Park and eating other people's garbage lift themselves back up to a normal or even successful life? The answer to the question is illustrated by Auster along with his other grand theme of "Coincidence." Auster actually exaggerates coincidence in his book, when he connects 3 characters through accidents of birth. All three of them are blood relatives and none of them knew this fact. All three of them found each other purely through coincidental means. For this to happen randomly is so improbably it would be ridiculous to try to calculate it. But Auster makes it seem almost a natural event, one that had to occur with surety. Ultimately, Auster leaves us in a place that is not perfect, much more realistic, and not horrible. It is a place more or less familiar to us. It is a place more or less like real life. The book is Auster in a great expository period and it is recommended to ALL readers.
