BAUMGARTNER - PAUL AUSTER GEBUNDEN

A tender masterpiece of love  memory and loss from one of the world's great writers.   The life
of Sy Baumgartner - noted author  and soon-to-be retired philosophy professor - has been
defined by his deep  abiding love for his wife  Anna. Now Anna is gone  and Baumgartner is
embarking on his seventies whilst trying to live with her absence. But Anna's voice is
everywhere still  in every spiral of memory and reminiscence  in each recalled episode of the
passionate forty years they shared.  Rich with compassion  wit and an eye for beauty in the
smallest  most transient episodes of ordinary life  Baumgartner is one of Auster''s most
luminous works - a tender late masterpiece of the ache of memory.  What readers are saying: 
***** Perfect  subtle  charming  funny and sad. **** Well-written and compelling but also
comforting  like catching up with an old friend. **** This is a concise  beautifully-written
and intelligent piece of understated introspective fiction from Auster.
