"It's urban mysticism, a poetry of the hidden and the almost forgotten, with the supernatural power deriving equally from the city and the novelist's imagination a snow globe of a novel."—New York magazine
"Oracle Night is a triumph for novelist Auster. It cements his growing reputation as one of America's most inventive and original writers."—Seafi7e Times Vissza
