This is my third Auster read after 4 3 2 1 and The New York Trilogy. I've really enjoyed all of these works. Moon Palace is a quirky, dreamlike narrative following Marco Stanley Fogg through a handful of strange episodes. Without giving much away about the plot (though the plot is perhaps not important), I think this book is a very charming read. Auster seems fascinated with a few themes (landscape paintings, the moon, fathers and sons), and he turns them around again and again. It was a pleasure to read, though it may not be for everyone.
