Title: Half and Half
Review: This memoir is broken up into two sections -- 1) Portrait of an Invisible Man and 2) The Book of Memory. The first is organic, enticing, moving, brilliant in almost every way. The second is rather forced, somewhat muddled, and just generally not very interesting. This may be because the first section is a straightforward exposition of Auster's family history while the second is a quasi-artsy autobiography of sorts.If you read through the other reviews here, there are many who loved the whole book, so my reaction is probably in the minority, so don't be afraid to pick this up. And let me just say that I don't regret reading this book at all -- the Portrait of an Invisible Man is so damn good that it makes the entire work worthwhile.
