Description

An enduringly brilliant tale of trial and triumph, set in America in the 1920s, from the author of 4 3 2 1: A NovelPaul Auster, the New York Times-bestselling author of The New York Trilogy, presents a dazzling, picaresque novel set in the late 1920s – the era of Babe Ruth, Charles Lindbergh, and Al Capone. Walter Claireborne Rawley, renowned nationwide as “Walt the Wonder Boy,” is a Saint Louis orphan rescued from the streets by a mysterious Hungarian Jew, Master Yehudi, who teaches Walt to walk on air. Master Yehudi brings Walt into a Kansas circus troupe consisting of Mother Sioux and Aesop, a young black genius. The vaudeville act takes them across a vast and vibrant country, through mythic Americana where they meet and fall prey to sinners, thieves, and villains, from the Kansas Ku Klux Klan to the Chicago mob. Walt’s rise to fame and fortune mirrors America’s own coming of age, and his resilience, like that of the nation, is challenged over and over and over again.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐In his book “Mr. Vertigo” Auster once again reveals an incredible talent. A talent for painting a picture with the same clarity with which he writes. In a very real sense, this book is an alleghorical story of most all human life. To summarize his message, it seems he is telling us this:1) You are born and childhood is mystical, magical, and all things seem possible.2) You hit puberty, and life is turned a little upside down from what it was before.3) You recover from the shock and go on and build a life.4) Somewhere in the process of building this life, something happens and life itself again gets twisted on its head.5) You rebuild your life.6) You hope you retire in peace.While the meaning of the alleghory is poignant, the manner that Auster paints the picture contains even more virtuosity. The story starts very whimsically, with a sense of magic. And then, as usual, there is clearly a lose of innocence, and an experiencing of multiple severe personal tragedies.These tragedies ultimately lead his protagonist onto the next phases of his life, as they do with most people. And in each phase, he rebuilds that life. And often, because of factors that have nothing to do with his own actions or beliefs, that world is destroyed, and sometimes it is destroyed, because of his actions and beliefs, but each time, he rebuilds, he realizes that he is rebuilding a better life, than the one before.Auster displays his usual incredible sensitivity and insight. He lays out the mental processes with great aplomb. And he takes the reader through an experience that in many ways, the reader is able to use as an analogy for their own life.This book is one of Auster’s classics and all Auster fans should not miss the opportunity to read it.

⭐A fun book that draws you in and doesn’t let go till your done.Splendid writing, great characters and a terrific plot.Must read… At least once

⭐Mr; Vertigo is the first picaresque novel that Paul Auster has written, being the chronicle of the life of the protagonist from his childhood to his old age. It is also a fantasy in its main theme, also a first for Auster. I enjoyed it as much as all of Auster’s other novels.

⭐The first-person narrative is so colorful, folksy and true that whatever fantasy is set before you becomes real. The characters are wonderful and you suffer for their loss. I feel that I was given a gift.

⭐I can’t say how this might strike others but I’m just a big Auster fan – and this is a bit off the beaten path for him (if there even is one)

⭐I had to force myself to finish reading this book. I recommend it only if you are doing a comparative study of Auster fiction. If he is a new author to you, start with Oracle Night or The Book of Illusions.

⭐As always I enjoyed reading Auster. Up to the middle of the book I was captivated, then it “descended”, I couldn’t be so interested any more.

⭐A great work by the observant spectre himself! Auster has a ghost-like style of writing that hints at the existence of light in worlds seemingly bereft of it.

⭐Auster non si smentisce: uno degli scrittori più rappresentativi del nostro tempo.Mr. Vertigo è un’epopea da leggere con passione e che ci fa rflettereI bought this ‘cos it was a book club read and it is one of the most boring things I’ve ever read. I hate it when authors ‘try’ to be clever.
