As a non-native English speaker, Austers’ “The New York Trilogy” got me into reading (and enjoying) English books in high school.

This is great to hear. That book made me feel secure about enjoying baseball on the radio and opera season.

I got to love baseball after seeing a Paul Auster interview at Shea Stadium on a German-French arts-focused TV channel. That was more than 20 years ago, and it’s interesting that while I’ve never been to the States I still care about the Mets (with all the good and the bad that comes with that, mostly the bad).
