Auster, Paul The Red Notebook: True Stories
New Directions June 17, 2002 0-8112-1498-2 / 9780811214988 Paperback Very Good+
The arresting stories in this slim collection by Auster (The New York Trilo gy, etc.) go a long way toward answering the perennial question "Why write? " The book contains four short narratives: "The Red Notebook," "It Don't Me an a Thing," "Accident Report" and "Why Write?" All the tales and vignettes , hovering somewhere between fact and fiction, feature amazing little coinc idences or linkages. In one brief chapter, Auster (as protagonist) loses a dime in a gutter in Brooklyn only to look down and find a dime later the sa me day. In another, he checks into a hotel room in an obscure hotel in Pari s and finds a crumpled message from the desk to a close friend the previous occupant of the room. The most affecting stories, however, recount a more ineffable sense of connection: Auster makes it to the foot of a staircase t o catch his little daughter just in time to keep her from sailing through a window; as a boy at summer camp, he is on a group hike when the boy next t o him is struck by lightning and killed. What all the stories have in commo n is not a fixed outcome or meaning but a sense of the patterned meaningful ness of life. Readers will glimpse here how the act of witnessing itself pr ovides the punch line. As Auster learned the hard way when he met Willie Ma ys one day and didn't have a pencil to get an autograph, the sense of wonde r burgeons when we can record its source on paper.

Auster, Paul Timbuktu
Henry Holt & Company May 1999 0-8050-5407-3 / 9780805054071 1st Edition Hardcover Near Fine/Near Fine
A wonderful tight clean copy, protected in a new brodart wrapper, no inscri ptions, unclipped dustjacket, this is not an Ex-Lib or a BCE/BOMC edition; Meet discerning and sympathetic Mr. Bones, a dog who is unconditionally faithful to his troubled master, Willy G. Christmas. Auster's leading human character is once again a tormented writer from Brooklyn who blindly believes in his ideals and willingly chooses to become a vagabond (see, for instance, Leviathan, LJ 7/92). But the real hero is the four-legged creature who follows him on his impromptu journeys and leads readers through the story. Yes, he thinks and he understands, and although he cannot speak, he keenly observes and contemplates the questionable logic of human behavior. The beginning of the story is promising; the middle gets suspiciously trivial but is rescued by a clever and moving ending. This is not the kind of work Auster has been praised for, but it proves his hunger for innovation once again. Timbuktu will undoubtedly provoke mixed responses, but that is the price of originality. There is something plain yet mysteriously intricate beneath Auster's trademark smooth writing.
