The first Auster I've read, and it didn't disappoint. This one's a huge book, 1141 pages in the Finnish edition, and it kept me captivated until the end. Ok, some parts of the university life I ended up a bit glossing over, but the beginning and the end were particularly good.
My knowledge of the 1950s and 1960s in the US has been a bit weak; Forrest Gump comes to mind, but not much else, thus it was quite interesting to read about the social movements in the 1960s.
All in all a fascinating approach.
