I read this book in a day—couldn't put it down. I picked it out of my ever-growing/never-ending "to-read" stack because I would have liked to visit New York City this fall. "The Brooklyn Follies" didn't disappoint. As with all of Paul Auster's novels, it’s filled with happenings that seem out of the ordinary—one might even say bordering on fantastical for everyday life. The characters' (and they're all main characters) jaunts and journeys are a step beyond the bounds of our "what did you do today?" and yet it’s all relatable. Really, it's just a story about interesting people living life at full tilt. There’s no magic or illusion beyond the usual magic and illusion life throws to us outside the pages. In "The Brooklyn Follies", the foreground is all story; the atmosphere is Auster's sublime writing. Highly, highly recommended.
