Timbuktu

Paul Auster's new novel has two heroes; One is the homeless, drunk, half-crazy Willy, and the other is a dog from whom we can learn a lot about our own humanity: Mr. Bone. Paul Auster, who deals with the world, life and human relations through the eyes of a dog by entering its thoughts, brings us face to face with our humanity in unusual ways with an expression that is sometimes entertaining and sometimes tragic and sad, with his usual mastery of language, the energy he puts into words, and his simple but intense interpretation; While it proves how our lives and principles sometimes rest on flimsy and flimsy foundations, it reminds us through nostalgic journeys of how we forget the old and permanent values that we buried deep in our memory in the fast and merciless flow of today. Paul Auster, who uses Willy and Mr. Bone's journey towards Timbuktu, the last stop of life, as a theme reflecting his philosophy of life, has included himself in this book as he does in all his novels; Moreover, it is possible to find traces of him in Mr. Bone as well as in Willy. By taking us outside the framework of the human species, the author allows us to look at ourselves with a brand new eye.
Whatever subject he chooses to write about, whatever tale he makes up, he maintains his magic and includes us in that magic.
