"As Auster's many admirers know, his narrative voice is as hypnotic as that of the Ancient Mariner. Start one of his books and by page two you cannot choose but hear."--Michael Dirda, The New York Review of Books
"Compulsively readable yet wonderfully complex and unsettling. The book is both a babushka doll of stories within stories and a literary Rubik's Cube, the solution of which, if there is one, is the very nature of reality."--The Boston Globe
"Auster shines as a fabulist and tale-teller, putting a high-modernist gloss on noir."--The New Yorker
"A joy to read."--The Economist
"It's urban mysticism, a poetry of the hidden and the almost forgotten, with the supernatural power deriving equally from the city and the novelist's imagination. . . . A snow globe of a novel."--New York magazine
"Oracle Night is a triumph for novelist Auster. It cements his growing reputation as one of America's most inventive and original writers."--The Seattle Times
