Reviews
"Delightful ... a gracious and humane tale ... one can only marvel at Auster's artistry:"--The Boston Globe "Entertaining and instructive to anyone considering a literary life. You realize you're in the hands of someone who couldn't write down, even if he wanted to."--The Washington Post Book World "Paul Auster's engaging account of his early economic struggles ... with a colorful east of sharply etched characters."--Chicago Tribune

Synopsis
This is the story of a young man's struggle to stay afloat. By turns poignant and comic, Paul Auster's memoir is essentially an autobiographical essay about money - and what it means not to have it. From one odd job to the next, from one failed scheme to another, Auster investigates his own stubborn compulsion to make art and describes his ingenious, often far-fetched attempts to survive on next to nothing. From the streets of New York City and Paris to the rural roads of upstate New York,the author treats us to a series of remarkable adventures and unforgettable encounters and, in several elaborate appixes, to previously unknown work from these years., This is the story of a young man's struggle to stay afloat.
