"Auster has an enormous talent for creating worlds that are both fantastic and believable....His novels are uniformly difficult to put down, a testament to his storytelling gifts." –Timothy Peters, San Francisco Chronicle, on Travels in the Scriptorium
"Archly playful and shrewdly philosophical...Celebrates the power of the imagination...the labyrinthine nature of the mind...A tribute to the transcendence of stories." –
Donna Seaman, Booklist, on Travels in the Scriptorium "Tenderness yoked to violence, literary experiment without irony–Paul Auster has outdone himself." –
John Brenkman, The Village Voice, on Man in the Dark "A novel that kept my attention from the first page all the way to the last. Frankly, it hypnotized me." –
