My thoughts AFTER reading 4 3 2 1 by Paul AusterĤ. I’ve not yet been able to get into his early work The New York Trilogy.Ĥ.

In my experience Auster writes two general kinds of books, ones that are totally straightforward, readable narratives (e.g., Brooklyn Follies, Sunset Park), and ones that twist things a bit on their edge (e.g., Man in the Dark, Travels in the Scriptorium).ģ. Not because I know anything about it or the other long- and shortlisters, but because I’m still not used to the Booker being open to Americans.Ģ.

I’m a little surprised this is on the Booker shortlist. My thoughts PRIOR to reading 4 3 2 1 by Paul Austerġ.
