It began with The Brooklyn Follies that my Oregonian friend lent me. I flipped through the books she lent me and picked one to read with the best opening. Auster’s first line got me hooked and I couldn’t put it down. My next Auster novel, The New York Trilogy was found at a used bookstore.

That was because writing was a disease, Tom continued, what you might call an infection or influenza of the spirit, and therefore it could strike anyone at any time.

I found Paul Auster twelve years ago and fell in love with his writings. Moon Palace and In the country of last things are some of my favourites.
