A beautiful remembrance of revered novelist Paul Auster, who passed away on April 30, by his friend Jonathan Lethem (one of my favorite authors) via @theguardianrss

As part of a general Jonathan Lethem binge, I watched the movie Motherless Brooklyn, and it was damn good. What a cast, for one thing!

Brilliant performances all around here, particularly Edward Norton, who took on an incredibly difficult task. I suffer from occasional tics myself, and this performance didn't annoy me with an unrealistic portrayal. It actually triggered way more tics than usual in me (which was probably also because I was alone and had no reason to try and suppress them). One of them was actually an "If!" in the middle of the movie, which made me smile. I definitely connected with the main character.

4/15/23 random entry:

1. The Fortress of Solitude
2. Jonathan Lethem
3. Doubleday
4. 2003
5. 1st print HC
6. Why I own it: I picked up a half-dozen of Lethem's earlier books after reading a couple of his novellas a few years ago. Unfortunately this one has remained on the TBR pile. Looks interesting (which is probably why I picked it up in the first place!), and now that the RNG has pulled it from the shelves, maybe I'll take a run at it!
