Invisible
Paul Auster
Henry Holt, 2009
This novel was panned by James Wood in The New Yorker (“Hints that have been scattered like mouse droppings lead us to the postmodern hole in the book where the rodent got in…”) and praised by Clancy Martin in The New York Times Book Review (“So if, like me, part of why you read is the great pleasure of falling in love with a novel, then read Invisible.”). I love Paul Auster’s books, and this is definitely his best book in years. I loved all the “mouse droppings” in this dramatic story of incest and transformation… —William Drenttel
