.In City of Glass, it is the Gallic quality of literaryeconomy that his protagonist Quinn finds so appealing about mystery novels: In the good mystery there is nothing wasted, no sentence, no word that isnot significant.Everything becomes essence; the center of the book shiftswith each event that propels it forward.The center, then, is everywhere, andno circumference can be drawn until the book has come to its end. In partbecause of his apprenticeship in poetry and in part out of his respect forEuropean minimalists like Beckett and Mallarmé who mistrust their ownverbal medium, Auster is a maestro of silences and spaces. I want my booksto be all heart, all center, to say what they have to say in as few words aspossible, he told an interviewer in 1990. This ambition seems so contraryto what most novelists are trying to accomplish that I often have troublethinking of myself as a novelist at all. When American readers think of contemporary novelists, Auster doesnot come instantly to mind.His exquisite metafictional mysteries have beencaveat to the masses.But Mr.Bones is no French poodle, and Timbuktu, ameditation on the thinker as canine rambler, could change its author sfortunes, again.We re not dogs, after all, and thoughtful humans can covet asmart tale.
