The Red Notebook - (New Directions Paperback) by Paul Auster (Paperback)

The Red Notebook is a remarkable collection of true-life stories that document the curious, miraculous, and sometimes catastrophic turns of everyday reality.

With a burnt onion pie, a wrong number, a young boy struck by lightning, a man falling off a roof, and a scrap of paper discovered in a Paris hotel room as its context, this book explores events from the real world large and small, tragic and comic.

Through these stories, Paul Auster again explores the unpredictable, shifting nature of human experience, demonstrating that there is much to life that is special and serendipitous if only we allow ourselves to perceive it this way.

With a literary originality that is perfecting a genre of its own, The Red Notebook is a must-read for anyone looking to expand their perspective on the planet.
