Walter Rawley is offered the incredible opportunity to #learntofly under the training of the enigmatic and sometimes cruel Master Yehudi. He becomes "Walt the Wonderboy" and the strange duo amaze audiences across 1927 middle America before facing certain complications. If you haven't tried Auster before this is a great one to start with- it's less experimental, and the storytelling keeps you enthralled. #TuneintoNovember @Robothugs @Cinfhen
This story was different than the other Auster I have read, mainly because it is not set in/about NYC, but his swing into mystery and magical realism was familiar. Young Walt and the Master grew on me and I ended up loving them both. Parts of this dragged at times, but overall it was an engaging story about depression-era America and dreams coming to an end.
#JuneBookBugs Paul Auster is one of my favorite #attractiveauthors. He's got that brooding but mischevious thing going on that I love.

#AprilBookShowers #Shelfie We've moved twice in one year, once cross-country, so the shelf has room for more again.
1920s America, authentic character development, and historically accurate, strong imagery. Need to find an adjective for the existentialist feeling the book has which is neither a positive outlook on life or negative or hopeful. Something between carpe diem and being true to yourself. The book is fact-paced and somewhere between escapism and introspection. Had to write a fanfiction for this one. Read here: www.initialsandaheartbeat.tumblr.com
