Oh Paul Auster, you really know how to stick to what you know.  Don’t get me wrong, I really liked this book, but well….everything about it is SO PAUL AUSTER.  In a good way.  In a way that makes me wonder if he knows how to write without using those thematic settings- Vermont, lonely old guy, self-autobiographical.  But Brooklyn Follies takes place in my neighborhood, so bonus points.  All that said, I really want to read Auster’s New York Trilogy now.
