Journal Entry 1 by dogspawn from Toronto, Ontario Canada on Sunday, February 16, 2003

This is a book that answers the question "why do you write" beautifully. This was my first foray into Auster and it won't be my last. When you are held spellbound by the simple act of losing a dime in one place and finding another (the same one?) somewhere else; you know you are in the presence of a terrific writer.
