Oyy, you're doing it again. My late father was a connoisseur and collector of what he called "small world stories" and found them everywhere. I had heard of Auster, but was unfamiliar with his work. That will now change. Thanks Mark. And the "weekly Daily Mystic" could be a snippet from a Joni Mitchell song.

start auster with "city of glass," "the music of chance," and "leviathan." i don't know where we'd all be without "small world stories." (look for my review of a new "seagull" adaptation coming soon, which includes a joni mitchell quote.)

I need a hankie, Mark! I’m in California with my dad and mother for the next few days and need to look at photos with them.
