macdara 's review for:

The Brooklyn Follies by Paul Auster

4.0

---

I breezed through this, what many have regarded as Auster's most light-hearted work. And while the title might on the surface seem self-referential - that the story represents a folly compared to the rest of his literary oeuvre - with Auster you can't take things so literally. It's probably his most accessible book, too, so it's a good place to start for newcomers.
