This was different than I expected, but very intriguing. He writes the autobiography part of the book before reaching critical success. Included with this book are a play (couldn't get into it), a game (interesting), and his first detective story, which I thought was great. Very fun to get a look inside a budding author who finally makes it big. I would highly recommend this.

Good read. Maybe for die hard Auster fans only. Includes early mystery/detective novel, autobiographical stuff etc.
