Paul AusterReviews
Invisible by Paul AusterPaul Auster is a spellbinding storyteller, sometimes thanks to, and other times in spite of, his post-modern narrative trickery. [29 October 2009] 
Man in the Dark by Paul AusterThis superb small novel isn’t about war or politics at all, but about, in the face of guilt and horror, choosing whether to die and how, if that is the choice, to live. [15 August 2008] 
The Inner Life of Martin FrostA dark, slippery love story, a meditation on the risks of embracing one’s muse, a study of the author and his/her “creation”, a quiet reflection on the nature of “human understanding”, this film is many things at once. [27 March 2008] 
The Brooklyn Follies by Paul AusterReading this novel is like watching Auster trying his best to remake his beloved city out of sand castles on Coney Island instead of the shattered fragments of the World Trade Center. [20 February 2006] 
Oracle Night by Paul AusterIt provokes such interrogation in a way that other novels don't, as if we can legitimately expect so much more from a writer who consistently delivers less, and who has made the theme of 'lessness' his own defining quality. [24 February 2004] |
