The Red Notebook by Paul Auster
The Red Notebook brings together in one volume all of Paul Auster's short, true-life storiesa remarkable collection of tales that documents the curious, miraculous, and sometimes catastrophic turns of everyday reality.
"A literary original who is perfecting a genre of his own" -- The Wall Street Journal
"The Red Notebook stories, pulled from Auster’s own life or from the lives of those close to him, are explorations of unexpected coincidences. A wrong number becomes the genesis for a famous novel; a hero appears at an inopportune moment; a lightning storm harries a group of campers; a daughter plunges from a terrifying height only to land improbably safely; a Paul Auster imposter materializes. Like a magic show, The Red Notebook demonstrates that “there is much to life that is special and serendipitous — if only we allow ourselves to perceive it this way.”" -- The Washington Post
"Paul Auster is definitely a genius." -- Haruki Murakami
"Our pre-eminent novelist of ideas." -- Kirkus Reviews
"Auster has added some new dimensions to modern literature and—more importantly even—to our perspectives on the planet." -- Boston Globe
