Oracle Night-- What do you think?

Oracle Night was, in my opinion, the best book we’ve read so far in our IB English course; I did enjoy it a lot. I thought it was very captivating due to Auster’s distinguished writing style in which he experiments with new, unconventional writing techniques by applying post-modern elements such as footnotes, plot within a plot, writing about the process of creating a novel through the eyes of an author, etc. I also found that the simplicity of the language makes the novel much more enjoyable and easier to grasp, especially since the plotline is somewhat complex. All in all, I think that Paul Auster is very skillful and original in his writing, as he is able to explore his characters thoroughly and bring them, very subtly, to life.
