Auster was such a great writer. I tore through his stuff when I discovered him. "The Music of Chance" was always a favorite.

I met someone in Naples, Italy once, and when I told her I wrote fiction her response was, Like Paul Auster? Like when she thought of American fiction, she thought of him. Made me think that his reputation abroad might surpass his reputation here, and that his work must travel well, which is usually indicative of something vital.

P.S. Didn’t know there was a new Phosphorescent album, stoked to check it out
