“The Locked Room” - Paul Auster

This is for my Minnesota friend - an excellent storyteller and who also happens to be reading Auster’s The New York Trilogy.

Stories happen only to those who are able to tell them, someone once said. In the same way, perhaps, experiences present themselves only to those who are able to have them. But this is a difficult point, and I can’t be sure of any of it.

These few lines made me stop reading and think. I don’t have something profound, concise and clever to write as a response to it yet, but still wanted to share it nonetheless. Enjoy.

    That’s Auster’s best work, isn’t it? “Oracle Night” comes close, though. His recent stuff = nonsense.
