My first Paul Auster, and to this day, my favourite one.
This is just the story of a dog called Mr. Bones who has settled with Willy Christmas. Both start reminiscing about their past lives until their time comes.
I see Timbuktu as a satire of contemporary society. Mr. Bones goes through a series of houses which depict different social classes and races and each family treat him differently. His owner is a victim of American living so both characters have something in common and thus can debate whether the afterlife is really the promised land that they have been deprived of.
Heart-warming.
