Helen Blunden ’s Reviews > Hand to Mouth: A Chronicle of Early Failure > Status Update

Started this book early this morning. Tossing and turning in bed, I thought “Stuff this, I’ll get up and make some coffee and read.” Immersing myself into Paul Auster’s memories and recollections of his life as a writer when he was in his 20s and 30s. Most of all, I love the characters he came across such as HL Humes (he started The Paris Review).
