This one hurts... A massive discovery to me a long time ago. I remember the binge reading any of his (early) books I could get my hands on, in French (he had a brilliant exclusive translator Christine Le Boeuf) and reread in English as well.
And as a side note to this - but a main one to me - I don't need those news right now as my father is living his last days (they stopped treatment early this week)... and it's the hardest blow - even if it was expected at some point. 4 years of fighting and of good moments as well, but we're entering the last phase.

Hang in there. I've been through that. Just be there for him in the time he has left. Prayers up.

I'm so sorry to hear this, alone2022. My thoughts are with you and your family. Wishing him a peaceful transition and comfort to you all.
My husband introduced me to the work of Paul Auster when we were dating. One of our early dates was attending a black box theater production of City of Glass in Manhattan. I haven't read as much of his work as I feel I should (especially his recent work) and I know he had some awful challenges later in his life via his son's addiction and destructive behavior. I would always wish that I would see him walking around here, but I was never aware of him. He is such a handsome man (not to mention a great writer, duh). A huge loss for the literary world and for Brooklyn.
