Meet Mr Bones, the canine hero of Paul Auster's remarkable novel.
Bones is the sidekick of Willy G. Christmas, a brilliant but troubled
poet-saint from Brooklyn. Together they sally forth across America to
Baltimore, Maryland, on one last great adventure, searching for
Willy's old teacher, Bea Swanson. Years have passed since Willy last
saw his beloved mentor, who used to know him as William Gurevitch, son
of Polish war refugees. But is Mrs Swanson still alive? And if not,
what will prevent Willy from vanishing into that other world known as
Timbuktu?
'In this brilliant novel, Auster writes with economy, precision and
the quirky pathos of noir, addressing the pernicious ubiquity of
American consumerism, the nature of love and the core riddles of
ontology. Above all, though, this is the affecting tale of a special
dog's place in the universe of humans and in the fleeting life of a
special man.' _Publishers Weekly_
