5.0 out of 5 stars Auster's genius can not be underestimated, 7 Jun 2001
By A Customer
Auster's genius can not be underestimated and having read virtually all his other novels the desire to know the man behind the incredible plots and prose of The New York Trilogy, Mr.Vertigo and Moon Palace to name a few must be met with this incredible autobiography. The novel is essentially about money and not having it, and about to embark on a life of studying Art myself I connected with the sensation of poverty that Auster experienced throughout his early adulthood. His life reads like of one of his novels, the constant twisting of his path and fate's ironic sense of humour led the young Auster to meet some incredible people during his life and to experience the extraordinary. Auster revealed as the human and not the author is truely one of my heroes now. The novel has the three longest footnotes in literary history, with two plays, that are reminscent of other Auster stories and a detective thriller that fully justifies Auster role as witness to 20th Century urban American culture. This book is best for Paul Auster fans and could get anyone hooked on this true contemporary American artist.
