On Reading Mr. Vertigo by Auster

Fabulously fabular, heartbreakingly beautiful with the bizarre and yet rich colours of a life lived out of the skin, as always Auster is a delight to read. The rise and fall of an icon, an intensely personal story in the extensively public times of the War, the shocks and surprises of life, from levitation to vertigo, from childhood to advanced old age, from mastery to servitude and from a desire to repeat the observable patterns of your life to a contingent opportunity to break with the patterns, the book is bathed in every possible tincture of humanity
