THE BROOKLYN FOLLIES

Paul Auster「THE BROOKLYN FOLLIES」読了。
11th September はアメリカの作家にどのように影響を与えたのか、それを考えて読むとおもしろいと思う。

「THE BROOKLYN FOLLIES」は彼の他の作品とは趣きが異なるような気がする。他の作品にあるような、境界を越えて向こう側の世界に消えてしまうような感覚はこの作品には無い。逆に登場人物は目前にある世界にこだわり、生きて行くことを決意している、例え世界自体がかわってしまっても。


I finished reading [THE BROOKLYN FOLLIES] by Paul Auster.
Reading this title with consideration of the impact of 11th Septembers on American authors, it will be more interesting.

[THE BROOKLYN FOLLIES] gave me a different impression from Austers' other works. I can not feel a sense of across the border between the real and another world, and vanishing there, which I feel it from his other works. On the contrary the characters in this novel get stuck into their own life as the real and determine to live their own small life, even though the world changes itself.
