Much respect to Paul Auster but I couldn’t finish this book. I appreciated the construct of the 4 lives of the character Archibald but found the execution laborious. I’m not fond of realism when it drills down into the quotidian in such an unrewarding way. I get the point of this lens but couldn’t wait to escape the constraints the author has imposed on Archibald as his similar but different lives unfold.
