![]() ![]() I try to challenge myself to come up with my own interpretations before reading anyone else’s. I didn’t read any secondary sources on these texts before writing this, and I expect there is a great deal that has been written about these very questions. And perhaps, while writing them down here, I’ll come to some further clarity. But I wanted to share some of the thoughts I came up with when thinking about it before class. We did talk a bit about this question, as it came up when a student brought up something similar in class. I puzzled over many things in these works, but the one I decided to write about here started off with me asking myself the question: this is a novel about a writer of mysteries, but is it a mystery novel itself? And if so, what is the mystery and how might we solve it? Paul Auster, 2008, by David Shankbone on Wikimedia Commons, licensed CC BY-SA 3.0 ![]()
