4.0 out of 5 stars Stroyteller? Absolutely!, April 4, 2000
Paul Auster? Well known author, a novelist. No, it's better if we inspect this writer without any restrictions. Because he is unmeasureable. Essays and fiction. Beyond the Red Notebook: Essays on Paul Auster, this is one of the best essaycollections i've ever read. Although it is not a fiction, you can still notice that he is discussing about the same problems as he does in he's novels. All these essays are each one involved with a self-seeking. Like Auster is trying to prove that his standpoints in novels are true. I would compare Auster with Susan Sontag. Sontag's style is similar to Auster's one. So this book is a good one in two aspects: composition and the essays itself. So, why I put only 4 stars. Well, it always seems to me in every book that there could be something more. But this is a great book, no doubt about that.
