On Kafka and Dolls

In spite of a scathing criticism accusing Auster of sentimentality and downgrading of style, this novel has a rich emotional core and is written in a readable quirky style (that might become ocassionaly sentimental).

Brooklyn Follies is a portrait of a few ordinary lives, of common people and their disappointments and triumphs, little mistakes and recoveries.

The novel takes place in Brooklyn in 2000 and tells the story of Nathan Glass, cancer survivor, who is compiling the Book of Human Folly, his nephew Tom, the grad school dropout, enigmatic bookseller Harry and many others. All of them try to come to terms with their own stories – follies and to live in reality.

Brooklyn Follies is one of those accessible of Auster’s novels. It offers a mixture of style of the Smoke and the Book of Illusions. Even though it is not a straight story and is rich in intertextuality and symbolism so typical for Auster’s novels. Číst víc
