Auggie Wren's Christmas Story

This Utterly Charming Christmas Fable begins with a dilemma: A writer has been asked by The New York Times to write a story that will appear in the paper on Christmas morning. The man agrees, but he has a problem: How to write an unsentimental Christmas story? He unburdens himself to his friend at his local cigar shop, a colorful character named Auggie Wren. "A Christmas story? Is that all?" Auggie counters. "If you buy me lunch, my friend, I'll tell you the best Christmas story you ever heard. And I guarantee every word of it is true." And an unconventional story it is, involving a lost wallet, a blind woman, and a Christmas dinner. Everything gets turned upside down. What's stealing? What's giving? What's a lie? What's the truth? Auggie Wren's Christmas Story is vintage Paul Auster, and pure pleasure: a truly unsentimental but completely affecting tale.Auster, Paul is the author of 'Auggie Wren's Christmas Story', published 2004 under ISBN 9780805077230 and ISBN 0805077235.
