Write-Up Regarding Books Timbuktu

I really enjoyed this. Not a peekaboo pomo mind fucker, not an overblown lament. A sincerely good story told from the view of a dog and his wonderfully crackpot owner. I got into it.

A while back I began a project to re-read all the works of Paul Auster. After a break of several months, Im back to doing so, and just finished reading Timbuktu from 1999. If you count The New York Trilogy as three novels, then Timbuktu is his ninth. And while Auster has been my favorite male American novelist for over two decades, Id be the first to admit that his work is generally not very emotional, but rather more stark and ascetic. Many of his previous novels rely on somewhat formalist

I stumbled upon this book at a used book store when I was trading in some older material. This was a pleasurable treasure to find.The book is told omniscient narrator, but it follows the life and thoughts of Mr. Bones, a loyal and loveable canine. Willy G. Christmas is old Bonesy's master. Willy suffers from schizophrenia, but using the dog as the central character creates a unique way to look at his master's condition.This book is a pretty simple read, but Auster fills each page with subtle

This is the story of a dog... ... Who doesn't just bark, scramble, hunt ticks, fleas and rogation? Named Mister Bones, the clipboard disdains the synthetic bone to gnaw for the scaling of the fang and the ball to be returned thirty-one times to his enthusiastic master (launched in the brambles, in a stream, or any other place as pleasant accessible). Mister Bones, hairy and canine, is aware of life and death. Oh, of course, he doesn't quibble about the sex of angels but, all the same, he knows

For such a short book it took me a while to get through this.The story is told from the perspective of Mr. Bones, a dog belonging to Willy G. Christmas, a homeless schizophrenic who has just a short time left to live. Willy and Mr. Bones are on a quest to find Willy's former English teacher, a person who never gave up on him or his talents. Along the way Willy teaches Mr. Bones about the ways of life, how and who to trust and what to do upon Willy's death. When Willy does die Mr. Bones puts this

Mr. Bones is living a dogs life. He is almost a peer to his master Willy G. Christmas. Willy is a kind-hearted, but damaged man, a child of holocaust survivors. Given to delusions, and writing poetry, he is homeless and in failing health. The road trip here is a walking journey to Baltimore, home to Bea Swanson, beloved high school teacher. He wants to offer to her his mass of unpublished writings, and to find Mr. Bones a home before his swan song. According to Willy, on the other side of death

Stop Press!This is not your typical Paul Auster book. This is what Paul Auster books would be like if he suddenly decided the murky world of convoluted, maze-like po-mo literature was not for him and thought "I know, I'll write a nice book for children." Except this is a nice a book for adults. I was suckered in by the picture of the moist-eyed dog on the cover and the fact that this is on the 1001 books to read before you die list meant that of course I was going to read it. I'm pretty sure
