Baumgartner | Paul Auster

1 post | 1 read | 5 to read

Baumgartner's life has been defined by his deep, abiding love for his wife, Anna. But now Anna is gone, and Baumgartner is embarking on his seventies whilst trying to live with her absence.Rich with compassion, wit and Auster's keen eye for beauty in the smallest, most transient episodes of ordinary life, Baumgartner is a tender late masterpiece of the ache of memory. It asks: why do we find such meaning in certain moments, and forget others?

Baumgartner | Paul Auster

pick

S.T. Baumgartner and Anna Blume have been married for almost 40 years. The novel starts 9 years after her death, Baumgartner, now in his early seventies, remembers their love story, his parents, thinks about aging, contemplates remarriage and retirement. We follow him throughout his days and Auster takes us into his heart and mind. I wanted to stay with Baumgartner much longer. I loved it.
