El cuaderno rojo

Escrito por Paul Auster

Narrado por Juan Manuel Martínez

Un número equivocado está en el origen de este libro. Un hombre lo llamó por teléfono una noche preguntando por la agencia de detectives Pinkerton; el novelista le dijo que se había equivocado. Llamada y respuesta se repitieron la noche siguiente. Y el narrador nato que es Paul Auster se planteó qué habría sucedido si hubiera fingido que, en efecto, él era un detective... Y un equívoco conduce a otro, y sibilinamente se pone en marcha el audaz mecanismo que mueve esta historia, en la que lo irreal va horadando lo real y el novelista ejerce de «cazador de coincidencias», de traductor de las siempre oscuras revelaciones del azar.

I liked it, three stars, nothing great. Interesting, but nothing earth shattering.

Inspirational, as ever. I thoroughly enjoyed these charming true tales, and loved the essays on French poetry and translation. PA's take on the High Wire artist who walked between the Twin Towers is extremely moving, and his Prayer for Salman Rushdie invariably makes me ashamed I don't devote enough of my own freedom to writing more.

A short book of 103 pages full of fascinating reflections on coincidences, unexpected or bizarre events in our lives, that have great significance in the long run. I particularly liked the author's story on how he became a writer. Missing out on a chance to get Willie Mays autograph because he didn't have a pencil, he started having a pencil with him at all times, which encouraged him to write. A great read for a short, 90 minute airline hop.

Not sure if this qualifies as fiction. It's a short book that recalls anectdotes of a coincidential nature that happened to the author over the course of his life. In some respects Borgesian in nature--these stories have a more true to life flavor to them. They are interesting though--and at times funny--and when not usually intriguing anyway. Auster does tell them well but then again that's not a surprise. Very good tone. A book easily readable in a couple of hours.

El audiolibro no está completo. Solo está la primera parte y en algunos de los capítulos hay párrafos del original que no están incluidos. Hay que ir al original (o a otra traducción) si se quiere la versión completa (y fiel).

This slim collection contains some entertaining vignettes, principally a string of coincidences that have occurred to Auster throughout the years written in a conversational tone. It's sparse and elegant writing, especially "Why Write?" which is a brief tribute to the importance of memory and reclaiming the lingering experiences of childhood.
