I enjoyed finding this this. You've captured the dream like quality of the book. Its a favourite of mine (as you can tell) that I return to now and again.
The country Its not the most unpleasant dystopian world ever envisaged. But the steady decline of the will and optimism of the eponymous/anonymous country is frightening. Bit by bit the energy of the country saps away and it becomes ever more insular. As in a dream once lost no thing and no one can be found again.

oh my god this is really moving, I'm pretty touched, good job you rule girl ;)

I haven't read this particular book but many of his "New York" stories. And yes, they are also strange, he's really good with creating suspense about things that aren't actually exciting...

This is impressive.

Sehr schön!! I wonder what country he was speaking of ? Was it America perhaps? I think I'll have to pick up a book and read..... If I can find the time.... I thought you did an excellent job in this video. You are hereby formally subscribed!! : )

thank you so much (for both the comment and the sub)! The country Paul Auster is talking about is a fictional country I guess...in the book it's only calles "The Country of Last Things". =)
