Summary: Wild tale.
Comment: Moon Palace is a wild tale told by a narrator who lost his parents at an early age, and suffered psychological damage as a result. I had little sympathy or interest in this character, nor did I feel the novel really explores any of the philosophical issues that the narrator is interested in. Never-the-less, once you get through the narrator's college days, the tale is wild and original enough to make the novel worthwhile. It has an old fashioned feel which I enjoyed. It also has one of those endings which makes the entire novel more meaningful. Incidentally, if you are interested in wild tales by narrators who have lost their parents at an early age and suffered psychological damage as a result, may I recommend When We Were Orphans by Kazko Ishiguro, which is a more accomplished work. P.S.: review by Undine gives away the ending.
Rating: 5
Summary: Highly recommendable
Comment: This book is such a pleasure to read, magic from beginning to end. It is different from other Auster books, but see for yourself!
Rating: 3
Summary: Coincidence
Comment: I have never read Paul Auster before, I started to read it because I read that the book is about New York City.
The first part is interesting, still pessimistic but Fogg's character makes me read.
The second part, the big considences are not realistic and over pessimistic.
Overall I am glad that I have read a book of the author but I will not read any other books of him.
