€�The last thing this country needs right now is another 1,000-plus page bill that, like Obamacare, was negotiated behind closed doors with special interests,” the letter says.

I don't know whether In the Country of Last Things is post-apocalyptic in the strict sense of the word. A college professor loses his wife and children in a plane crash. Problem is I can't connect anymore. It describes no apocalyptic event, and what people recall of the past is unreliable, the stuff of legend. It's a very different novel for Auster, it's been described as a dystopian novel by most and yet it's disturbingly contemporary in nature. Perhaps this is due to the plot itself. Actually, there was no incident, no high drama, there was simply a change of thought, a new way of looking at things, a tilt of the head, a revolution in our perception. After dwelling in misery and depression, the narrator finds himself laughing for the first time in a long time. No, this is not another anti-commercial gospel crap. Season's frenzy around, which I would perhaps like to take part in but can't. Paul Auster's IN THE COUNTRY OF LAST THINGS, William Gibson's NEUROMANCER, Sue Grafton's A IS FOR ALIBI and Kate Atkinson's NOT THE END OF THE WORLD. This is a reference to a phenomenal talk by Taylor Mac at last year's Under the Radar Festival Symposium, called I Believe: A Theater Manifesto. I would be willing to wager that you could make zero dollars a year doing theatre pretty much anywhere in the country! This didn't happen with In The Country of Last Things. Getting things can be pleasing and pleasant. One Response to “In the Country of Last Things”.
