Beschreibung zum Buch
THIS UTTERLY CHARMING CHRISTMAS FABLE begins with a dilemma:
A writer has been asked by The New York Times to write a story that will appear in the paper on Christmas morning. The man agrees, but he has a problem: How to write an unsentimental Christmas story? He unburdens himself to his friend at his local cigar shop, a colorful character named Auggie Wren. "A Christmas story? Is that all? " Auggie counters.
"If you buy me lunch, my friend, I'll tell you the best Christmas story you ever heard. And I guarantee every word of it is true.
And an unconventional story it is, involving a lost wallet, a blind woman, and a Christmas dinner.
Everything gets turned upside down. What's stealing?
What's giving? What's a lie? What's the truth? Auggie Wren's Christmas Story is vintage Paul Auster, and pure pleasure: a truly unsentimental but completely affecting tale.
