another freewheeling auster pageturner where the absurdity of existence becomes kinda fun. this time levitation is the central metaphor, levitation off the ground, levitation off the streets, levitation into text

It seemed to me such an American story, with the myth and the Dickensian but multiracial story of Walt and the Indian,the Jew and the Nigro taking on the world. Also the levitation itself. But the narrative is amazing and makes one forget all far fetchedness.
