Paul Auster is one of the important writers of contemporary American literature. Unfortunately, he is more on the agenda in our country because of his absence from our country on the grounds that 'Turkey is not a democratic country' rather than his novels.
This is the fourth novel of the author that I have read and there will be more to come. After finishing a few of his books, when you pick up any of his books, you come to the point where you can say yes, this is an Auster novel. Although his books are based on similar coincidences, he does not repeat himself and fascinates me more and more with each book I read.
Moon Palace is a novel of coincidences, or in other words, a novel of fate. According to some, it is the author's most successful book, but my favorite is still In the Land of the Last Things. How can such a simple subject become so lively? Here are his books, the strikingness of the ordinary!
I think one thing Auster's novels have in common is the characters' sense of loneliness. The book begins with M.S. Fogg's emptiness after losing his uncle, his only living relative, and the fine line between going crazy and finding the meaning of life, and the rest drags the reader through a plot that he cannot predict.
Although I generally dislike the endings of Paul Auster's books, his books have always been among my favorites; In this respect, I can probably say that this is the book whose ending I liked the most.
Moon Palace is a classic Auster novel in which you will accompany M.S. Fogg's loneliness and self-discovery as if you were reading a real life story. If you have not read the author's works before, this novel may be a good start.
