Man in the Dark
Paul Auster
Holt (August, 2008)

By Nicholas Nocketback

The Future of America is Darker than Curt Cobain’s

Auster is this generation’s literary living legend, a throwback to the popularity Fitzgerald and Hemingway held. Thus, a new novel for our summer reading (although I rarely see people reading in the summer—or in Fresno for that matter) is a monumental affair. Man in the Dark is due out August 19th, but your boy here got himself an advanced copy—please don’t ask how.
