The book starts with the older male (still is an Auster) travels to Brooklyn to die. He is lonely, tired of ex-relations and find most things cynical. Soon hi collides with relatives not met in decades, get close friends and means something to someone. His life gets a new meaning again.
The book has Auster's simple and no-extra language with witty and intelligent conversations that don't waste any time for the reader.
It's not a page turner, but a relaxed an unpretentious, well written novel. The story conveys the importance of friends without any "educational" style.
