Like you, I am yet to see it, though I've just watched Fargo again. Lebowski, and No Country both need to be watched by moi. Thanks for the reminder.

]]> Comment on Paul Auster’s INVISIBLE… by brian http://condalmo.wordpress.com/2009/10/16/paul-austers-invisible/#comment-1326 brian Mon, 19 Oct 2009 16:49:21 +0000 http://condalmo.wordpress.com/?p=2911#comment-1326 I feel a need to chime in with respect to The New York Trilogy. While it is Auster’s most important book, this is only because it provided the framework for his later fiction and why it is/will be selected as Auster’s contribution to the American cannon. However, I personally find the subsequent books much more engaging, therefore ‘better’, because they substantiate what Auster outlined in TNYT. A comparison could be made to a scientific/mathematic theory– the applications of the theory being much more interesting than the original theory. I’ve only read TNYT once, and don’t plan on reading it again, but I have read almost everything else twice. I feel a need to chime in with respect to The New York Trilogy.

It was recommended to me when I was an undergraduate, and Hemingway was casting a long shadow over everything else. Never got around to getting a copy for myself until now. People rave about it, though, don't they? No, I haven’t read it. It was recommended to me when I was an undergraduate, and Hemingway was casting a long shadow over everything else.

Though it gets hard to walk around my house when I've been to a really good one. Books as furniture is a good look, right? We are so lucky in New England, library book sales galore.
