Wow. I know Auster from his work on the films SMOKE and BLUE IN THE FACE, but these books blew me away. I don't want to give away any plot points, so I'll just say that Auster takes his love of Brooklyn, detective fiction, and twist-ridden plots and filters them through the prism of intimately intense personal questioning and metatextual anguish. All in a prose style that is lean in a way that grabs you by the lapels and doesn't let go until you've lost half an afternoon to it. Great stuff.
