Mr. Bones, the canine hero of Paul Auster's astonishing new book, is the sidekick and confidant of Willy G. Christmas, a brilliant and troubled homeless man from Brooklyn. As Willy's body slowly expires, he sets off with Mr. Bones for Baltimore in search of his high school English teacher and a new home for his companion.

Assessment About Books Timbuktu

At its worst, this novella is a prolonged & sorrowful swan song. An existential meditation. At its peak however, it remains a radical exercise in stream-of-consciousness narration. Although reminiscent of Virginia Woolf at her most coherent, it's a relief to have a book that does not require trips to the ever-faithful dictionary. And gratefully, this work is not rife with pretensions-galore (a-la "Book of Illusions," which is thankfully newly off the 1001 Best Books List) and has the amount

For such a short book it took me a while to get through this.The story is told from the perspective of Mr. Bones, a dog belonging to Willy G. Christmas, a homeless schizophrenic who has just a short time left to live. Willy and Mr. Bones are on a quest to find Willy's former English teacher, a person who never gave up on him or his talents. Along the way Willy teaches Mr. Bones about the ways of life, how and who to trust and what to do upon Willy's death. When Willy does die Mr. Bones puts this

Called this at page 108. The book is so corny and sappy and takes such an over-simplified approach to life and death for people with mental illness I just could not abide another page. I should know not to read books where the main characters are dogs. Some of my best freinds have been dogs, but I did not love them for their intellect and insight, their ability to see life in a holistic way. I loved those dogs because they have none of those things. They have unquestioning love and loyalty, and

I stumbled upon this book at a used book store when I was trading in some older material. This was a pleasurable treasure to find.The book is told omniscient narrator, but it follows the life and thoughts of Mr. Bones, a loyal and loveable canine. Willy G. Christmas is old Bonesy's master. Willy suffers from schizophrenia, but using the dog as the central character creates a unique way to look at his master's condition.This book is a pretty simple read, but Auster fills each page with subtle

This is the story of a dog... ... Who doesn't just bark, scramble, hunt ticks, fleas and rogation? Named Mister Bones, the clipboard disdains the synthetic bone to gnaw for the scaling of the fang and the ball to be returned thirty-one times to his enthusiastic master (launched in the brambles, in a stream, or any other place as pleasant accessible). Mister Bones, hairy and canine, is aware of life and death. Oh, of course, he doesn't quibble about the sex of angels but, all the same, he knows

I should have liked this book a lot more, and I feel kind of bad that I didn't, because what's not to like about a story told by a dog named Mr. Bones?But I didn't really like it that much, and I liked even less the other Paul Auster book I read that same week a few years ago right after I got a slightly used ACL from some dead guy screwed into my knee to take the place of the one I destroyed doing something really dumb.Perhaps it was the after-effects from the anesthesia or the pain or the

Running back & forth, the narration is full of emotion, word after word. What I failed to understand was that despite being an internal monologue in 'Ingloosh' as Mr Bones understands it, the narration is in third person (for an odd, unexplained reason). Nonetheless, it's a beautiful story. It raises existential questions, yet accommodates humor in it's natural form, offering refreshing insights on a dog's worldview.Funny, unapologetic, poignant & overwhelming in all atypical ways.
