The Guardian Review sections front page is a photograph of the author Paul Auster. He says ‘I’m going to speak out as often as I can, otherwise I can’t live with myself.’ He is of course speaking about the political situation in the US. If you’re interested in the article you can read it here. I really like Auster’s writing although I think I have quite a few books of his to catch up with.
There’s an article by Diana Athill about her friend the Irish author Molly Keane. Athill says – I admired many authors but Molly, I loved. You can read the article here.
I’ve read some of Auster’s book – interesting article, thanks for the link. 4321 looks interesting.
I’ll read the Athill article later.
Margaret,
I’ve read a handful of Auster’s books and enjoyed them but Brooklyn Follies is my favourite.
Katrina,
Thanks so much for the links! Of course, as you may imagine, I’m really keen on the Paul Auster article. So interesting… Always new things to discover about him and his writing, I’ve found. Thanks for sharing. I’m ordering his newest book straightaway. Can’t wait to read it!

Judith,
I’m glad you found that interesting. I have quite a few of his books to catch up with, I hope to get around to the new one soonish though.
