"I ended up really liking this book, after a period being put off by what seemed to be a hagiography of what a great guy Ben Sachs was. The layers of complexity that were introduced led to shifting focuses and gradually you realised your were reading about a complex person with mixed motivations. The conclusion is a good twist - one of several that switch the narrative onto new tracks throughout the story."

"Am I crazy or does it seem when you are reading a Paul Auster novel and you look down and realize you only have 10 pages or so left, that the novel doesn't seem like it should be ending. It feels right in the middle of things and then, well, books done. heheh. Another fine outing from Nr. Auster."

"A gorgeous work of mystery and fiction, characteristically Auster with existentially questing characters. I enjoy novels with ties to the visual arts, and very much enjoyed the collaboration between Paul Auster and Sophie Calle that began with this book. Auster models the character Maria after Calle, and Calle trumps Auster by publishing a book of visual work in which she plays out the character Maria's experiments. See: Double Game, Sophie Calle."

By Seth, Great Barrington, MA

"Quintessential Auster, a mystery wrapped in an enigma. What I love about Auster is while his fiction is "post-modern" or "meta-fiction," unlike others who play those games, Auster never tosses out the baby with the bathwater -- he revels in the joy to be had in a gripping narrative, in this case, as so often, a blend of mystery, betrayal, love.

In other words, even if in the end it's all about the creative process -- a book about writing a book -- that's just the intellectual pleasure you take away from a book full of storytelling pleasures rooted in a very real America of politics, philosophy, art, sex, friendship, and terrorism (not necessarily in that order).

I'm still mulling over the title in search of some connection to Herman Melville and "Moby-Dick." Has anyone figured that out?"
