Thirith & His Enormous Tibia Goofy Beast Member	Posted Has anyone here read the comic adaptation of Paul Auster's City of Glass? And if so, what did you think of it? Did you know the novel beforehand? __________ We scraped along like rats, but now we will soar like eagles… eagles on pogo sticks!

mtxx The Trendy Nihilist Member	Posted Hide Post I read it years ago. I loved the art, but I frankly didn't 'get' it. But then the only work by Paul Auster I've ever been able to get through was "Smoke/Blue in the Face". - Michael My boring blog: http://www.xanga.com/mtxx "This is the spring without end / This is the summer of malcontent / This is the winter of your mind"

"city of glass" is completly "ungettable" imo. but i'd like to read the graphic novel tho, didn't know there was one. "If you are going to get anywhere in life you have to read a lot of books."

Posted Hide Post Ooooh, did not know such a thing existed. Must. Find. Now. About Paul Auster in general: The New York Triology might not be the most "gettable" work of his. I seriously suggest trying out novels like Oracle Night, The Music of Chance or Moon Palace. Are you a fan, Thirith? I have been for about two years and the novels just mentioned are my favourites. If you've read The Brooklyn Follies, what were your thoughts on it? ---- "And then Alvie came up to me...and asked me the way to the Death Star, because it was his job to blow it up..." -NG

I can't really say whether I like him so far, but perhaps I'll make up my mind after reading the third novel in the trilogy. __________ We scraped along like rats, but now we will soar like eagles… eagles on pogo sticks!
