Finally he writes something to compete with The New York Trilogy.

Never read anything by Auster. I've heard a good amount about the New York Trilogy. Seems like fun. Is it the place to start? Is he worth reading? If so, all of his stuff, some of it? Give me the low-down.

Thanks for your help.

You don't need to be careful about where you start with Auster, he's easy to read, jump in wherever. I recommend Invisible.

He's like Murakami for me, his books aren't amazing or deep, but I like him anyway.

Actually haven't read any of his stuff either (have Kafka sitting on my shelf). That's the impression I got of it, though.

Would you consider him literary at least? I know it's a loaded word. Better than most of the random crap out there?

Ohshitohshitohshit
Any updates on possible Mr. Vertigo movie?

You actually do, because his later stuff can be mediocre or complete shit.

The New York Trilogy is good. You could also start with The Invention of Solitude.

I started with the Brooklyn Follies
Don't read it, it's pretty mediocre and cringeworthy
