Timbuktu

A really good read, the writer does well putting the reader into the paws of the dog Mr Bones. Following Mr Bones journey through his various owners and the anxiety and uncertainty that comes with it. Brilliant book.

At its worst, this novella is a prolonged & sorrowful swan song. An existential meditation. At its peak however, it remains a radical exercise in stream-of-consciousness narration. Although reminiscent of Virginia Woolf at her most coherent, it's a relief to have a book that does not require trips to the ever-faithful dictionary. And gratefully, this work is not rife with pretensions-galore (a-la "Book of Illusions," which is thankfully newly off the 1001 Best Books List) and has the amount of imagination and sense of wonderment/awe which a work like this demands.The whole book in P.O.V. of a dog: there are moments when you think the author will absolutely fail, and the time seems impending... though it never really comes. Paul Auster succeeds in telling a sad, simple, organic tale of the universal connection that makes everyone part of the biological Brotherhood/Sisterhood/Universe. Even dogs with men connect; even a dog's innermost psyche has substantial clout in the actual real world.

Got this for my wife who is dog mad and said she loved it...even the bits that made her cry.

I wasn't sure of this when I started reading (I found the character of Willy Christmas and all his wordplay a little annoying) but by and by Mr Bones got under my skin and, if the only thing this book does is make people doubly consider the feelings of dogs, it is worth reading.

Such a lovely, sad, funny story. I was nearly in tears by the end. Great book.

As ever from Auster an interesting read. Basically the existential story of a dog. Perhaps not his best but still loved it

Book as described and excellent service

A most unusual and moving dog story...more a work of philosophy. It stays in the mind well after the last page.

Mr. Bones is all dogs. He's all gods. He lives honestly, and when he dies on the road, hit by cars, he's off to Timbuktu, the afterlife for all.

El libro llegó en el tiempo estimado. Dudé de las condiciones en las que se encontraría puesto que no son libros nuevos, para mi sorpresa está en bastantes buenas condiciones 👍🏼👍🏼

Pour le plaisir de voyager dans la tête

It is a good book that won't disappoint Paul Auster's fans, so if you are one of them, don't hesitate in buying it.

Solo chi ha avuto un cane puó scrivere e capire un libro come questo.Bello, vero, triste come la vita.
