AUTHOR
SUMMARY
"It's a kind of seduction to dizzy the reader the way Auster does, layering, intermingling and cross-referencing the many stories....[B]ut the entire whirligig might lift right off the page altogether if it were not for a persistent melancholy so subtle it could almost be overlooked....[A] seemingly abstract panic...suffuses ORACLE NIGHT and, paradoxically, gives it its lifeblood. Without this anxiety, ORACLE NIGHT would be a cool game, but it succeeds as something much richer precisely because it acknowledges, constantly, the possibility of its own failure."Auster, Paul is the author of 'Oracle Night', published 2004 under ISBN 9780312423667 and ISBN 0312423667.
