PRAISE

One of the 25 most significant New York City novels of the last 100 Years. – The New York Times

"The plots twist, the dialogue snaps and the humor stings. Auster's obsessions with identity, language, ambiguity and defeat are revealed on the long, tailing walks through the metropolis that give his labyrinthine novels their switchback shape, and New York looms throughout like a modern-day Babel." – The New York Times Magazine

"Eminently readable and mysterious. . .Auster has added some new dimensions to modern literature, and – more importantly even – to our perspectives on our planet." – Fanny Howe, The Boston Globe
