La respuesta fue abrumadora: más de cuatro mil relatos de los que Auster seleccionó ciento ochenta, y que componen un volumen extraordinario. La mayoría de las historias son intensos fragmentos narrativos que combinan sucesos ordinarios y extraordinarios. Unas son divertidas, como la historia de cómo el perro de un miembro del Ku Klux Klan apareció corriendo por la calle durante el desfile anual del Klan y le arrebató la capucha a su amo. Otras son misteriosas, como la historia de una mujer que vio cómo un pollo blanco caminaba por una calle de Portland, Oregón, subía a saltos los escalones de un porche, llamaba a la puerta y entraba tranquilamente en la casa. I picked this book up at a library sale- thinking from the title that it would be a novel or true story about a child who thought his/her father was God. I hadn't noticed that the rest of the title, written in smaller print on the cover, And Other True Tales From NPR's National Story Project was really what this book was- a collection of short, true stories from listeners of Paul Auster's interview on the radio. He had asked listeners to send in their stories; of strange coincidences, animals, memories, reflections on the war, all kinds of topics. And so this book was the result- a wonderful compilation of anecdotes. Some were far better than others. Perhaps my least favorite was a 2 page meditation on the joys of a martini 😥 But others was more engaging and endearing. There were several stories about childhood friends and enemies and older people. And many about animals, travels, jobs. As another reviewer noted, this is a great book to bring with you if you're going to be waiting for something, like at a bus station or waiting room, or to pick up before bed-then you won't mind being interrupted too much b/c the stories are short. Wonderful little find here. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
