“In some ways it’s a reward…; in other ways (it’s) a test…” – 4321 by Paul Auster

"4 3 2 1, his first novel in seven years, clocks in at a swaggering 866 pages, roughly three times the size of the majority of his books. Auster is on record as saying he thinks it will be the book he is remembered for (we don't entirely agree, we think that will be New York Trilogy). In some ways, it's a reward for Auster's constant reader (there are Easter eggs throughout the book, appearances from characters who have appeared in novels from Moon Palace to The Book of Illusion and Oracle Night); in other ways, 4 3 2 1 is a test..."
