Writing about writing, books about books...probably one of my favorite tropes

Finished up Ghosts. This one's ok. Same themes as the first, but the ending didn't land.

Finished the first novella, City of Glass. A clever little tale about storytelling

It's a great thing to be able to return to Auster again, even if it's a reread. This particular sentence struck me:
"As it happened, he was sitting on the toilet, in the act of expelling a turd, when the telephone rang" (9).
An almost overwritten sentence, but in its extravagance, it achieves humor. C'mon! How can you not like Auster!
