| | 1. |  | The New York Trilogy (Green Integer)
from Green Integer
Price: $21.86
Customer Review:
When I was an English grad-student in the 90's, there was a certain kind of guy I observed who loved language passionately, a word-geek, you know? Pale, fastidious, carrying his fountain pen or carafe of espresso with him everywhere he went, along with his worn copy of "Ulysses," he either went the... more info

| | 2. | [no image] | Hunger: A Novel
from Farrar, Straus and Giroux
Customer Review:
Pedants and scholars everywhere will celebrate this new translation -- indeed, already on Wikipedia, Sverre Lyngstad's translation is being called 'definitive'.
The only problem is, like all academic translations, it serves as more of a primer or helpful guide to the Norwegian than quality... more info

| | 3. |  | The Brooklyn Follies: A Novel
from Picador
Price: $11.20
Customer Review:
After having heard so much about Mr. Auster's novels, I finally got around to reading one. And as much as I'd like to agree with some of the other reviewers here as to the stellar qualities of ''The Brooklyn Follies', I can't.
The novel is narrated in the first-person. This is a partial... more info

| | 4. |  | City of Glass: The Graphic Novel
from Picador
Price: $11.20
Customer Review:
City of Glass is a graphic novel interpretation of Paul Auster's well received book, originally published in 1985. Halfway through the graphic novel I picked up the original book to see how some of the wild imagery was portrayed in written form. I was surprised (though should I have been?) that... more info

| | 6. |  | Leviathan (Contemporary American Fiction)
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $10.20
Customer Review:
I've said it many times before, but if you're not reading Paul Auster, you're really missing out. He's remarkably talented and his originality continues to impress me.
Leviathan literally means the biggest of its kind, and was also a sea monster from the Old Testament. Knowing such things... more info

| | 7. |  | The Invention of Solitude
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $11.20
Customer Review:
Having been, to some extent, in the same situation as Auster with relation to his father, I sympathize with him. What's more, I understand him. And his memories. His feeling of emptiness and sadness when he finds out that his father - who was never physically there - is gone spiritually too. It's... more info

| | 8. |  | Travels in the Scriptorium: A Novel
from Picador
Price: $9.60
Customer Review:
Paul Auster's novel is short(at 145 pp.) but quite thought-provoking.
The subject of the novel - nameless man wakes up not knowing who, why when or how about his identity or anything remotely important - is not a new one and the bulk of the text feels like an extended Twilight Zone episode. The... more info

| | 10. |  | Timbuktu
from Faber Faber Inc
Customer Review:
Everyone who shares their life with a dog has undoubtedly wondered how cognizant their canine friend is. How much can a dog reason? How much do they truly understand? Many times, writers anthropomorphize animals making their narratives unbelievable and outlandish. This is not the case with Paul... more info
