Paul Auster : 4 3 2 I
On March 3 I947 Archibald Isaac Ferguson the only child of Rose and Stanley Ferguson is born. From that single
beginning Fergusons life will take four simultaneous but entirely different paths. Family fortunes diverge. Loves
and friendships and passions contrast. As each version of Fergusons story rushes across the fractured terrain of mid
twentieth century America a boy grows up - again and again and again
Underworld : Don Delillo
I also wanted this but only had enough money for one. I chose the Auster as it was cheaper and had a more complex
plot although Underworld is regarded as Delillos masterpiece. Rather interestingly both are set in the same time and
place which makes comparison between them relatively easy
