The Brooklyn Follies by Paul Auster

4.0

This was a quaint slice of life / character study and I loved it. There is some plot to propel the story, but the main subject is certainly the characters. It's written so humanly, with tenderness and absurdity. When it comes to the female characters, it IS very obvious that it was written by a man... something to keep in mind if that bothers you. Either way, some people just get it. And reading this, Paul Auster is one of those people. It is rare to feel so seen by a book and so fond of the characters.
