[1] 소설4321 대한 비평 하나.

 

 Auster's most recent novel, 4 3 2 1Booklist critic Donna Seaman remarked:

Auster has been turning readers' heads for three decades, bending the conventions of storytelling, blurring the line between fiction and autobiography, infusing novels with literary and cinematic allusions, and calling attention to the art of storytelling itself, not with cool, intellectual remove, but rather with wonder, gratitude, daring, and sly humor. ... Auster's fiction is rife with cosmic riddles and rich in emotional complexity. He now presents his most capacious, demanding, eventful, suspenseful, erotic, structurally audacious, funny, and soulful novel to date. ... Auster is conducting a grand experiment, not only in storytelling, but also in the endless nature-versus-nurture debate, the perpetual dance between inheritance and free will, intention and chance, dreams and fate. This elaborate investigation into the big what-if is also a mesmerizing dramatization of the multitude of clashing selves we each harbor within. ... A paean to youth, desire, books, creativity, and unpredictability, it is a four-faceted bildungsroman and an ars poetica, in which Auster elucidates his devotion to literature and art. He writes, 'To combine the strange with the familiar: that was what Ferguson aspired to, to observe the world as closely as the most dedicated realist and yet to create a way of seeing the world through a different, slightly distorting lens.' Auster achieves this and much more in his virtuoso, magnanimous, and ravishing opus.[22]

 

경찰과의 투석전, 교정의 사복경찰, 최루탄의 亂舞, 대학점거농성, 총장실 점거 파손, 학생과 청년교수들과의 연대투쟁. 60년대 후반의 뉴욕은 그대로 80년대 서울의 풍경과 찍어놓은 판박이다. 미국학생운동사라는 것이 있다면 그대로 장소와 날짜만 서울의 대학으로 바꿔 끼우면 그대로 한국학생운동사 장면으로 둔갑할 법도. 865페이지.
