First Paul Auster I read was The Brooklyn Follies, which I quite enjoyed. Then I read In the Country of Last Things, and I really enjoyed that. This led me to believe that I liked Paul Auster, and that Paul Auster was good. So I then read the New York Trilogy and Man in the Dark. This led me to believe that maybe fuck Paul Auster.
Someone bought me 4 3 2 1 for a birthday present. It's massive. On past experience I have a 50/50 chance of liking it, but I don't like those odds going into a near 1000 page novel.
I seem to be an outlier in that most people appear to really rate the New York Trilogy. Left me cold though. And normally I like all that post modern wank.
