Criticism Containing Books Timbuktu

For such a short book it took me a while to get through this.The story is told from the perspective of Mr. Bones, a dog belonging to Willy G. Christmas, a homeless schizophrenic who has just a short time left to live. Willy and Mr. Bones are on a quest to find Willy's former English teacher, a person who never gave up on him or his talents. Along the way Willy teaches Mr. Bones about the ways of life, how and who to trust and what to do upon Willy's death. When Willy does die Mr. Bones puts this



Marvelous book. Look, if you are a dog owner, or have been or love dogs you have to read this book. I don't think dog books usually work, but this one does. You are in the head of a dog, Mr. Bones. You say, It just cannot be good! but I swear it is. Mr. Bones is a scruffy dog. He has a hard life, all sorts of different owners. His first owner was Willy, a bit of a tramp but he had hard times, and then he died. Seven "good" years with Willy, but life goes on.....unless, unless he can get back to

A while back I began a project to re-read all the works of Paul Auster. After a break of several months, Im back to doing so, and just finished reading Timbuktu from 1999. If you count The New York Trilogy as three novels, then Timbuktu is his ninth. And while Auster has been my favorite male American novelist for over two decades, Id be the first to admit that his work is generally not very emotional, but rather more stark and ascetic. Many of his previous novels rely on somewhat formalist

I may be biased as an animal lover but the picture of the sad-eyed, shaggy dog on the cover had me sucked in from the start, and the down-on-his-luck Mr Bones & Paul Auster didnt let me down. That's all I've ever dreamed of, Mr. Bones. To make the world a better place. To bring some beauty to the drab humdrum corners of the soul. You can do it with a toaster, you can do it with a poem, you can do it by reaching out your hand to a stranger. It doesn't matter what form it takes. To leave the

I have had this book on my shelves for a number of years, but despite being a fan of many of Auster's books, I had failed to read it due to the premise of it being written from the point of view of a dog-ludicrous surely? When I saw the book available as Audible's Daily Deal for $3 I thought it was worth checking to see if this was the case, and I'm pleased to say that it was quite the opposite.As a massive dog lover, it quickly became apparent that I was going to empathise with the character of

Sweet, tender, surprising, lovely voice of the dog, Mr. Bones, but don't read if you love animals, too, too sad.
