Re: Paul Auster: Travels In The Scriptorium
Yeah, it's not the best work of Auster's to read first (or second, in your case), although it does give an idea of his literary sensibilities. Actually, knowing the characters that he's referring to from his earlier works doesn't add all that much to it anyway... I liked it, but it doesn't compare with works like The New York Trilogy, Moon Palace, Leviathan or The Book of Illusions.
