Student Adam Walker meets a mysterious Frenchman, Rudolf Born, and his girlfriend Margot. Following a robbery attempt on them, Adam's life is changed forever and in later life he attempts to write a novel about his relationship with Born, Margot, his sister Gwynne and a young French girl, Cecile.

Not my favourite Auster - there is rather an icky bit in the middle and I wasn't convinced by Born. Don't agree with NY Times' review that it's the finest he's ever written.

Thanks again for this 1001 list book :) I finished it, and will find a new home for it asap!

I agree about the icky bit in the middle. If it wasn't for that, I probably would have enjoyed it more.

Funny, I've really enjoyed all the other Auster books I've read, but I didn't warm to this one and stopped reading about 40 pages in. Reading through the other journal entries, I'm quite glad I stopped before the icky bit.
Sorry Boekentrol. I will make sure this book travels on again soon.
