mausella24 's review for:
The Brooklyn Follies
by Paul Auster
My favorite Auster-novel. Maybe because it is the easiest one to read, with chapters, without too many intertextualities (which I curiously tend to adore), with happy endings and tragedies that negate the unevitable demise of content. Nathan Glass is the calmest protagonist with a lot of that kind of wisdom that comes to people merely by aging. He tells the story about his days in Brooklyn with his nephew Tom, the book store owner Harry and the characters that appear later with a reminiscence that is filled with love and hope and still only a little touch of naive romance.
