Like I have to admit Auster's ability set up for a thrilling climax and denouement only to give you a wet fart with a side of melancholy is impressive

Couple of random (mostly spoiler free) thoughts on YCSE. It's one of the greatest works of meta-fiction/meta-narrative in recent years. It joins Synecdoche, New York and Paul Auster's City of Glass in that vein.

One book down for Andorra 🇦🇩 in my #readaroundtheworld project. This one was a cheat as there is only one novel by an Andorran author available in an English translation and it’s not set in the country. This one reminded me of Paul Auster’s work but the story petered out at the end. 📚 #Booksky

I'm halfway through Ghosts and it's feels like I'm going crazy. Like I have to stop and take a breath. It's like $9 on sale right now and it's worth it.

Auster's nested narratives feel like literary origami. If you enjoyed this, try his 'New York Trilogy' for more meta-fiction puzzles.

Question for those on FB where I know often folks 'find' others they are searching for. In late Dec. 2009, I was at an airport gift shop in Valencia, Spain & purchased one of the late NYC author, Paul Auster's novel. Once on the plane, for some reason part of a boarding pass was tucked in the pages.

Couldn't find this at the library or for sale in Taiwan, so bought it while back in the UK for a trip; which is why there has been over a month since my last book
I really enjoyed this, not as complex in narration as some other of Auster's, but great nonetheless
