Paul Auster recommends
Life: A User's Manual (1978) Georges Perec "A dazzling, crazy-quilt monument to the imagination." | The Living End (1980) Stanley Elkin "Stanley Elkin's imagination should be declared a national landmark. When the moment comes to write the history of AMerican English in the late twentieth century, his novels will be a fundamental source." | A Still Small Voice (2001) John Reed "A spellbinding novel of love and war, from a young writer of great promise." |
The Seducer (2003) (Jonas Wergeland, book 1) Jan Kjærstad "An enormously accomplished and compelling novel." | Voice Over (2007) Celine Curiol "Wonderful." | The Gift of Numbers (2007) Yôko Ogawa "Highly original. Infinitely charming. And ever so touching." |
