City of Glass

This is the first of a trilogy. Plus there is a graphic edition.

From Amazon:
Nominated for an Edgar Award for Best Mystery of the Year, City of Glass inaugurates the intriguing New York Trilogy of novels that the Washington Post Book World has classified as "post-existentialist private eye...It's as if Kafka has gotten hooked on the gumshoe game and penned his own ever-spiraling version." As a result of a strange phone call in the middle of the night, Quinn, a writer of detective fiction and crime books, becomes enmeshed in a case more puzzling than any he might have written. New York Times-bestselling author Paul Auster combines dark humor with Hitchcock-like suspense to City of Glass.

Where did you go Bernadette

Consensus was that this was a fun read, very funny.

From Amazon:
Bernadette Fox is notorious. To her Microsoft-guru husband, she's a fearlessly opinionated partner; to fellow private-school mothers in Seattle, she's a disgrace; to design mavens, she's a revolutionary architect, and to 15-year-old Bee, she is a best friend and, simply, Mom.

February book delayed to March 2 due to club closure for private event on our regular day

THE WOMAN WHO LOST HER SOUL

At 738 pages The Woman Who Lost her Soul was too much for this Book Club! Only one had completed the book. Our discussion, however, was focused on many of the issues presented by the book and later longer than anticipated.

March's book is much shorter at 328 pages I expect we all will have finished this one.  Bring a friend, introduce them to the Book Club.
