Description

Meet Mr Bones, the canine hero of Paul Auster's remarkable novel.

Bones is the sidekick of Willy G. Christmas, a brilliant but troubled poet-saint from Brooklyn.

Together they sally forth across America to Baltimore, Maryland, on one last great adventure, searching for Willy's old teacher, Bea Swanson.

Years have passed since Willy last saw his beloved mentor, who used to know him as William Gurevitch, son of Polish war refugees.

But is Mrs Swanson still alive? And if not, what will prevent Willy from vanishing into that other world known as Timbuktu?'In this brilliant novel, Auster writes with economy, precision and the quirky pathos of noir, addressing the pernicious ubiquity of American consumerism, the nature of love and the core riddles of ontology.

Above all, though, this is the affecting tale of a special dog's place in the universe of humans and in the fleeting life of a special man.' Publishers Weekly
