The Snakes That Ate Florida: Reporting, Essays, and Criticism p 95- / Ian Frazier
As I was finishing The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle over the previous weekend, a shrill small voice* told me not to forget the Paul Auster paperback nestled in an obscure part of my TBR shelf -- the books are sort of like cousins, I guess. I'm reading my second copy; the first copy I ordered via Amazon because the image had the Art Spiegelman cover & they sent me a non-Maus-like cover. No longer trusting Amazon, I verified that the local bookstore (the New Haven Barnes & Noble that calls itself "The Yale Bookstore") had the Spiegelman version & got my copy 2.
*Internally I hear May Kasahara's voice in a speeded up digital voice or maybe Minnie Mouse.
