The Book of Illusions

Paul Auster


He's a really good storyteller. He hits the ground running. The narrator is a writer musing on his bereavement. He starts researching the life of a silent moviemaker. There is something slightly surreal but believable at the bottom of it. It's tremendously readable but the story has not stayed with me.
