Book Reviews of The Invention of Solitude
Book Review: Beautiful and sad...
Summary: 5 Stars
I actually read this book in the German version, and just like all of the Auster books I have read so far, I couldn't put it down... Auster writes incredibly beautiful and sensitive; sadness, desperation and confusion only make sense in his books... His books are an acquired taste; many of my friends just find them depressing...but what do they know... ;) I have read "everything Auster" so far, and I will continue to do so.
