Oh no Paul Auster has passed. Such a brilliant author whose life had been tough over the last few years. He leaves behind a quite brilliant literary legacy.

Sorry to hear that. New York Trilogy is one of those books that left me a bit puzzled but under no doubt that I'd just read a masterpiece.

Another is an autobiographical work that will stay lodged in my brain forever - the only thing I forget is the name but I think it was Hand to Mouth.

Zenith owes Paul Auater a debt, and so, now I think about it, does Grant's Animal Man.

Yeah I can see that. The 2000ad writer I most associate his work with is Pete Milligan both having such a direct focus on identity.

I adored his novels. Timbuktu, Mr Vertigo and Music of Chance being particular favourites.
