Paul Auster recommends
 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." |  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) Yoko Ogawa "Highly original. Infinitely charming. And ever so touching." |
