Alice (alice_gibson) Hi,

I have just watched an interview with Paul Auster on Talking Books USA, BBC News. I found him to be absolutely fascinating. My next stop was Amazon to purchase one of his works. But... I hadn't appreciated there were so many, so please could I ask, where do I start. What would be the best book to get a feel for his work, philosophy, and beautiful prose?

Thank you

Alice

Lucretia Fraser (lucretiafraser) | 1 comments I would personally start with the New York Trilogy. They are shorter pieces, and you really get a feel for his work. He is AMAZING!!!!

David (djoffe) | 4 comments Especially City of Glass from the New York Trilogy. I'd skip Ghosts. The Locked Room is interesting. From there try Brooklyn Follies. There is not a bad fiction book among the lot.

Patricia (patriciamaria) Perhaps Invisible, Timbuktu or Man in the Dark
